Not One Cares
I coil in bed as twilight swirls in dim of hours
Raking this womb , pained by angst --
While I transcend earth’s noise , I am alone
In gilded light of an evening so restless--
Hushing mild whiffs, bleak and intolerable :
Then, led back to soiled pillows
While dusk bathes a soul without sweet quiet;
As floats of sobs wail for some comfort
That my wails reach heaven... yet not one cares
For a lone soul needing a warm embrace
On this day, our tenth year of togetherness.
How the chill pierces the marrow
When all that this moment needs is a voice,
A human link, just this time... but then, no one cares
