“During a Nighttime” ...

” During a Nighttime “

During a nighttime
nothing left
to lose but pride

It’s private -
not yours
nor mine

on all sides
like a psyche
of silence

due to mild
anxiety
unrealized

a few spins
this way
a few that

changing character
switching tasks
hands clasped

quietly thrashing
shaking heads rapidly
remaining intact

harrowingly
tininnabulating
passages

collaborative
actions standing
looking askance...
