His eyes Clench To the bits He refuses To see Become Truths He refuses To know, And he finds Himself Alone In his understanding Of everything That matters, That he matters About. His tongue Swells With the bits He refuses To say Become Truths Known Only To him. And his Loneliness Throbs As he grasps For something That matters, That he matters About. His reach Shrinks From the bits He refuses To have Become Truths He knows To lurk In every space He longs To be. And lonely Is a word For those Who recall Connection. And he Does not Recall Connection. And he’s not Sure it matters, Doesn’t matter About. And in the end The life He refused to live Is tucked Into soil And folds

He
His eyes Clench To the bits He refuses To see Become Truths He refuses To know, And he finds Himself Alone In his understanding Of everything That matters, That he matters About. His tongue Swells With the bits He refuses To say Become Truths Known Only To him. And his Loneliness Throbs As he grasps For something That matters, That he matters About. His reach Shrinks From the bits He refuses To have Become Truths He knows To lurk In every space He longs To be. And lonely Is a word For those Who recall Connection. And he Does not Recall Connection. And he’s not Sure it matters, Doesn’t matter About. And in the end The life He refused to live Is tucked Into soil And folds
