A Lonely Audience
November 29, 2016
This isn't the kind of poetry you publish.
This is the kind written by flashlight, scrap paper, unreliable pencils.
It stays with you always, held tight, kept secret.
Stashed away in your pocket,
You absorb it. Or maybe it absorbs you.
It's coffee stained, crumpled memories.
It's blurred lead, haphazard scribbles.
But who bears witness to those jumbled stanzas, these drawn out thoughts?
The only audience you dare make your revelations to is the moon and the stars.
