       i look out onto an empty room

       and i feel the echo of my aloneness



       i tire of filling the space

       with disembodied words from recordings or radio



       as the winter sets in

       i pull back

       like sap

       deep into a tree



       wanting

       to be missed



       i hope another will come

       bearing the warmth of a thaw
