Elegy For The Lonesome Poem by Francesco Malaspina

Elegy For The Lonesome

Rating: 4.0


At home
Ill, alone
Between crumpled, used
Tissues
The grey
Living room curtains
Molding sunlight into
Fog.
Midmorning
Waiting immobile
For something
Anything really
Enraptured
By the slits of a
Rolling
Shutter.
Old dreams
Fester
Through unused time
And memories are castaway
Among the grey
Still waves of mind.
Waiting, as always,
For indefinite
Thoughts
And hopes unborn
I believe
Portentous things must
Happen, right?
Right?

When illness behind the curtain blocking the sunshine, we may found that we have spent lot of time there alone, and this elergy is made the bed not comfortable anymore...as much as what loneliness did to the space...of the room, of the heart in every tickling clock sound
