Lonliness

Alone

cast in a light of dried ivory and snow

the softest most invisible hand and the dark hair of night

nothing-less, nothing more

alongside a brown-wooden chair, oak Varietal

stone-inlay, French and floral, kiwi and hummingbird

iron-side clasping, hugging the chair together

within a room of gold-paint, a soft gold leaf

round cornered wainscot, the thunder and echo for Carthage

in every picturesque Baroque something other of the whitewash, flush

outside a barren snow, in a snowstorm

a single snow trapped stove,

a solitude of grass poking through

she is looking outside And crying
