Solitude

the part that is quiet
 the part that is waiting
 the part that is hiding
 the part holding breath
 the part that's unreachable
 the part that's untouchable
 the part that's unknowable
 unreachable
 untouchable
 unknowable
 the part that doesn't breathe
 talk or laugh or cry
 waiting in the dark
 protecting the dark
 the dark is dense 
 the dark is small
 the dark is dense 
 the dark is small
 the part like an animal
 the part that's not scratching
 the part that's just staring
 with eyes closed
 with eyes closed
 closed to memories
 closed to histories
 closed to human folly
 closed to weakness
 the immobile animal
 in solitude
 unreachable 
 untouchable
 unknowable
