An hour holds the gobble of my selfishness
the sick sweet stare and curl
that bends me sideways softly.
I am not alone.

There is an allowance for the longing
the slow cries, the folding ache
and there is an outstretch of understanding.
And I am not alone.

I half choke the violence into letters
crease the impact center straight
and my redness bleeds the staining still.

I lay reasons and part summaries
across the arms of stale, outdated furniture
and I deserve (as she once said) the notice,
the friendship full.

So I leave often, curving in wonder
sliding in what should have been said
and I am not alone. No.

You woke up understanding all of this?  It's going to take me a little longer...but I most certainly will try...

Well done, Alicia...

ALicia, this sounds lonely, but hopeful.
You are definitely NOT alone.

~Morning, morning. Diving in here quickly to thank you all for reading, reading,...yeah, and how that is so much. To leave your own words in response, so much more. And to all, for attempting, and possibly succceeding in getting? it, although that is rarely my concern that you will, I'm selfish like that in my writing, which has been labeled mostly inaccessable and private in language and thought by professors. Ah well. Have yourselves one heck of an afternoon now, I'll try.
*Peace. .
