Lonliness is..
an entire shade of grey we forget
I wallow through the black and whiteness of
this
and
when I reach the middle matter you lose me
Such a color that it is transparent
See right through the body
Directly into sunlight
You cover your eyes.
Afraid they might burn away.
We just keep drinking,
and occasionally blurt out what we mean
I have got the hint, darling.
You are just careening.
And you garden.
I know you do
You plant your retreat with the hands I hold
or wish to hold
sometimes
I wish to hold your hands
in mine
but they are so distant
Translucent
This is like air
and you thought I couldn't write about love
You foolish thing.
it is like air
clear-cut and fleeting
yes.
love is like death
grey and
obsolete
And we die everyday dont we?
Just to be born again.
