Chapel of a Latter Day Agoraphobic
I no longer want to be
in the thrum and thrust of things.
I want to be left alone
with my crisp white box wine
and the news of our sadness and decline.
The thrum and the thrust
have beaten conviviality out of me.
Leave me alone to parse the sad news
and write of my own bruises.

I enjoyed this poem. Hit somewhere familiar. *
Thank you, Felicia.
