INVSIBILITY
Alone, I speak to else but me,
Myself disputes with all I see.
The rapid fall,
The unheared call,
“Myself” I say, “that must be all.”
Regained my strength, I built my tent,
Alone, I rest here in my nest,
Myself, so tall,
Unfunctional,
Away where no one else can call.
Again I hear myself in fear,
As they come near, See me in sheer,
Along the hall,
Away from walls.
Ah–yes, I must have a role.
