PRIVACY, solitude

Amelia Michelle Nicol 1990 (Denver)



Decided against the victories
imagined in crowds
These patient seeming
variable weights of time
Space created in me
for the provisions of self
wanted 'Rilkean eyes'
forgetting this and that,
always lazy and waiting for lunch'

Left alone, context finds any outlet
for meaning, this and that
rallies and regulates
the spaces imagined for privacy
