Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

The Poet

he’s not the winner of any
popularity contest
his closest ones
resent him

he’s aloof
likes his privacy
doesn’t crave their company
his friends are sparse
and far between

he’s the
annoying reminder
that their life feels empty
and without passion
nagging at
them quietly
in the middle of the night
