Candles

Hand and voice
comprise sensation -
almost, if not all.

turn to find
intoxication
now I can't withdraw

though, it's better to be alone -
self same, and only one's own
it's still,

so easy.

can float away
only on dreams
nothing but the way you've seen

Dizzying "but then"
"and if"

Drunk

with your own thoughts
and left

but to fumble in the dark.

no memory - only time.
