We Are All Born Alone Poem by Rani Turton

I can say I need you. Like rain of arid plains
The words dance in the air and melt into the ground.
I can say I am whole again. Like summer dust far away
A haze that will settle one day.
I am alone. But that is sheer pretension.
We all are born alone, die alone.
Ours minds disconnect from our bodies, that's all.

I can wander, wonder, think and complain
There is the silence, the mist and the rain.
