"Loneliness" Without a Name


 










The empty hours steal the day

as we attempt to seek distraction

a temporary get away

in quietude and conversation­—

and though we have but naught to say.

and though our stories rarely change

peace is found repetition.

Across the lines, we borrow time

diversion from this hill we climb;

another day, the same refrain

unsure just what we hope to gain,

perhaps we’re looking for the same…

searching for an intervention

 for loneliness without a name
