I Walk Alone

I walk alone broken, unseen,

Batty emotions bash and cudgel my brain,
Fury within has no kin, though keen

That it makes my eyes water

To dare fate, lone like the moon

In dark island sunshine is taken for slaughter.

Of all the stars in my clan,

I, on dicky diet, clash for notice

Wearing wack reflexion like a man

Under sedation, under seduction

Of awkward silence; suffused with embalmer

Like one dead with pulses that won't function.

Cocoon me now, O death,

I am enmeshed in ablation, expiring

And left to walk alone; have my breath.
