Lonely Is A Word
by Danielle Howle

Lonely is a word
that I have left
like all of you
when I’m feeling lonely
kiss myself is what I do

Lonely is a subject
I had left
it wrung me through
when I’m feeling lonely
kiss myself is what I do

Tiny people float
like petals
on imaginary waves
they got to run
they got to talk fast
but you can’t get away

Lonely is a word
that I have left
like all of you
when I’m feeling
lonely kiss myself
you know I do

Lonely was a subject
that I let
tuck me away
forgetting that just
letting it persist
made me afraid

Tiny octopi-tentacled arms
get caught and smashed
they got to run
to find the fun to
find the ones
to bring them back

Every failed attempt on some
just leaves
an empty part
I swear this lonely’s
only going
to help me cleanse my heart
