disconnected

disconnected

A Poem by Mia Sparrow

the lighting is muted in here

like gray skies in dreams

lacking in vibrancy

Wanting in warmth.


i look out the window

and ignore the sun’s rays.

silence fosters disconnection

and i am adrift in a vacuum

littered with shards of memories

that lay stagnant, never dissolving.


cloistered desires remain unspoken

as i wait for vain reprieve.

solitude guards me like armour

and i, captive of my own device,

reach out in rueful futility.


my voice is vanished

as strangers pass beyond.

i am afflicted with their existence

though covetous of more than flesh.


reclusion safeguards against loss

yet smarts in the light

of foreclosed desires.

thus i abide in the shadows of

a studied smile.

no. to my man woodrow.
That last stanza is pretty bad a*s.

"yet smarts in the light"

That's damn fine writing.
