Be Myself Again
The terrible beauty of being alone
watching people and cars go by
in light that leaves without goodby.
Hands in my pockets, inhaling
clouds, winter's purity suspect.
I levitate in doorways. No place
to go. All life's right here, a swarm
of happenings about to happen.
Please don't stop to talk to me
and make me join you in an end
I'm not destined to give a name.
I search for it in car lights and
darkened interiors, a fleeting
smile or the look of loneliness
of those riding somewhere
beyond their control, on their
way to another place they don't
belong, pretending in the mirror.
