Five Pictures About Being Alone Poem by Leslie Philibert

Five Pictures About Being Alone



A supermarket carpark;
Sunday morning.
Flat and empty as my breath.

A room tiled and bare,
a cell cool and angular,
all light hushed.

A circle of trees
stand around me as a victim,
head back I shout at the sky.

The autobahn near Aschau.
Lights spot the midnight.
The few hidden from my touch.

Of course.The last one.
Through mist I hear soft voices.
My fingernails break on a sill.
