Mark R Slaughter - 'Alone! ' I cried

'Alone! ' I cried again. br 'Alone I am with me! br Lonely in a world of mist br Alone, I reach to touch your wrist br And see if I am thee.’ br br To be alone beside a soul br Afloat, adrift; an empty ghoul br Alone in woe; the yearning flesh br To fill a thin, contorted mesh br Diffuse atop an icy floor, alone. br br So much alone in fact, I lack br The tonal vibrancy of life: br br I am a song without a tune br alone; br A greying sky in June br alone; br br The blueness of a sullen moon br – waning in a starless night– br alone; br br Coasting down a weedy pass br alone; br The only image in the glass br alone; br br To meet a certain heavy fate br – to turn and shut the knurly gate– br br …alone.
