other than the universe i bow towards a gratitude which
births from deep-sincerity. two hands clasped. in hopes
of finding peace within this brash-cacophony
of noise and disillusion
but then i feel one downward-curve of introspection.
a selfish-act. disquietingly-strung about my throat in
ropes of fear. for that which is my singularity. not of
solitude. which offers peace. the former more an
overt-feeling of despair and loss.
so instead I turn my head again in thankfulness. despite
the lack of any human-love. a passion which alludes and
causes grief. this gratitude a struggle. when winter-nights
descend. these evenings ever longer.
