quiet in your own way

---

solitude is
a black dog
running along a
white beach
at midnight

solitude is
at the center of
the sun

solitude is
the sound of
one cricket
chirping from
the corner of
your cellar

solitude is
a shark
sleeping but
still sidewinding
through deep
and pressured
waters

solitude is
hearing that
train in the
distance
carrying no one
going nowhere

solitude is
your family
all
all quiet in the
ground now

solitude is
the cancer
growing within
you
yet unseen
and it is the
word written
underneath
your tongue
as your last
breath passes

I think that is all
there is to say
so I'll just
leave you
alone now

in solitude
