Alone

To turn, on eyes opening,

find again that blank space beside you;


come downstairs,

witness to the still-birth of another day;


a receptacle of words, restless

to be heard but no ear to hear them;


to move, room to room,

through the obdurate indifference of objects;


remembering warmth in memories

that leave you to its shivering absence.
