i am pure lonliness
i am empty air
i am drifting cloud
i have no form
i am boundless
i have no rest
i have no house
i pass through places
i am an indifferant wind
i am the white bird
flying away from land
i am the horizon
i am a wave
that will never reach the shore
i am an empty shell
cast up on the sand
i am the moonlight
on the cottage with no roof
i am the forgotten dead
in the broken vault on the hill
i am the old man
carrying his water in a pail
i am light
travelling in empty space
i am a dimishing star
speeding away
out of the universe
-kathleen raine-
