God shuffled my Ipod today

pome I wrote

God shuffled my iPod today
As I tooquickly walked away
from the joy and noise of girls and boys
who filled their cups, their heads,
so full of merry song
as I stood by with empty hand
and empty heart
never in
so never apart.

Every silent step seemed slowed
as if I towed in mind
what I left behind

Ghostly cars floated past
a redwhite mass of different paths
Annihilating what little the night of shadow could cast.

And I am walking
Somewhere
in there
A small tall man.

My little world I curled around
The unhappy music     sound surrounds
My lightless lonely walking
with bespoke words;
a measure of kindness
crafted to fill the soundless, toobright darkness
through which my tall and nameless no one
slips and snakes like smoke
a breath of light
without light
soboldly going nowhere.
