Expiating Loneliness

a
Conversation
spirals
towards the dim ceiling
like an opium dragon.

Ghost words bounce off the table -
not a numb social game
after all.

The pleasure & terror
of wedging
splinters of Self
into the Other.

Intoxicated
by returning echoes
of the same Longing,
I shed awareness
like yesterday's skin.
