love song for loneliness

december, when started
my love affair
with loneliness and
ends that never come
or going that never
gets
me anywhere.

in the cold cold ash
mornings i slept slow
breaths, dry lips wake
halfway new and
almost ready
for the sun to break
over my back
(hold still while i bend light)
and then let's
grow lovely together:
loneliness and i
sometimes.
