if we are lonely
it might be because
          we let go too soon
          or hung on too long
          maybe
          we walked too far or
          we didn’t walk far enough or
          we should have run
          or stood still
          either
          we asked the wrong question
          or planted the wrong answer
          and winds soothe
          when they should be tearing
          and night teases
          when it should come strong
          and we are lonely
          together apart together away
          we are needing to give
          as much as we are needing to get
if we are lonely
it might be because
          there is not one thing
          that reaches so far
          nor stretches so wide
          as empty
          as empty.
