“Loneliness,” New Era, Nov. 1980, 51
Loneliness
Loneliness,
Brewed in bottles full of
White moth wings,
Dribbles and spills into
Cricketship evening world, the
White shadow aches that
Train-whistle far into the
Mind and rock like empty
Porch swings, low and long, while
Stillness sings her saddest song.
