Soliloquy

Soliloquy

One word explains another.

Take “loneliness,” it’s a gap

a stone falling into the void,

even the air hurts and walking

is not enough, sleep dies

but you sleep. Loneliness is to search

for your height, your exact size,

in others,

or rather it’s to divide yourself

and form a broad chorus

of nothingness. 

What horrible loneliness

is in the one who begs for affection

by blemishing tenderness.

Let laughter be laughter

and hatred be hatred,

a man be a man.
