i Alone

i Alone,

soft by the wood's fumed-hush,
down-cuddle in a maze of myself
& feel a sharp sadness crawl into form
& fast-feel the pain that springs into life...
Out from a thousand ol'demons at play
    At Once!
Now shouting the lea into standing
    At Once!
Their applause is a silence i strive to relieve
( if only the wind would help me )

Now cower - Or glance back strong into thought,
These that've made good monsters of us all...

There will be a time for standing,
     My Standing! -  At Once!

Immaculate I

alone.
