Solitary

My thoughts quarrel with my hands

My hands fidget with the keys

The keys click and words appear

But those words are all memories

My mind banters with my lips

My lips dry against the cold

The cold forgives but I forget

The lies that you have told

My heart isolates its beats

Against a chilled and frozen world

From which its solitude is solace

And its solitary shield

For when solar rays disperse

And souls beseech the coming solstice

Monologuing soliloquies solve

A question with no solution

Such solemn notes the soloist plays

No orchestra, she strums alone

And solders together the lonesome tune

That salivates at the sound of

The soulless requiem.
