Alone on an island
in the midst of the sea;

staying afloat
between land masses.

Alone on the train
that runs underground;

alone on the plane
that flies above earth.

A lonesome dot
in a circle’s center;

two points alone
at each end of a line.

One knit stitch
cast onto a needle;

one hand-tied knot
at the very end.

One pink cloud
in an open blue sky;

one round of thunder
before rain falls.

One river’s mouth as
it reaches a sea;

one mountain source
where it begins.

One for one and one:
we all make our

ways — alone.

. . . . .
