A Spinster: Towards the End

It is not ‘one day’; it is every day.


I wake up thinking,

‘You! You gave me a day more!’

Then I step out and make myself busy,

Dreaming of…

Dreaming of nothing.

Nothingness engulfs me.

Loneliness enchants me.

Nothing else can tempt me.

No one else can spend me.

I am single and I love it single.

There are friends to cheer me up;

Family so caring; and

My love, burning all my waste.

I care for them, I need them.

I neglect them, I don’t need them.

My thoughts are crowded, my heart empty.

I want to be crowded, but need solitude.

I am bound, but most free now.

Sometimes I, of course, like the knot.

But no! I am different and I love it.
