In a quiet state
I sit alone
hear the raindrops outside
dancing across autumn leaves
the damp texture
of an autumn day.
I sit alone
wondering just
how long can my life
go on leading this seeming
disarray
I sit alone
hoping some gesture
some meaning
beyond our own
human compassion
some reality that
might
take me away
I sit alone
I watch the skies darken
I think of just how possible it is to be
this way.
