In Context of Alone

In Context of Alone

 

I alone

Sit by self

To find myself

Alone

In context-

 

To believe or not

To allow ego

Neither face

Or a name

Nor a reason

To be me

Or him

Or subtler mask

Of her-

 

Being a thing

Or a place

Or a time

Unparalleled in space-

 

To understand

To digress

To fluoresce

Into the solitary

Of standing alone-

 

Next to the starry night

Next to the wary fright

Next to the very edge-

 

Where the dark

Is a singular sense

Where the silence

Is company

Where the cadence

Of lone

Man

Pulses with infradian

Circles of poetry

And crossings

Of disarray-

 

Next to the fence

That shields

And exposes

Solitude-

 

As both natural

And abnormal

Position

Of being

Uniquely out

of context.
