Section II: Solitude and Collapse

 


6

Loneliness
was worn—
a tattered garment
still
seeping
pain
through its seams


7

No tears in sight,
no trace of a smile—
only a mask
to keep
from stopping
midway


8

The heart
breaks
in silence—
like a drop
falling
into the endless
dark


9

The day,
exhausted
by the fear of night,
clutched
at the pale
of a petal


10

Darkness
pitched its tent
over the field—
a rain of blossoms
could not
cover
its naked black


11

Night
slipped in
through the window—
and quietly
settled
in the heart
of the house
