The Loneliness Hallucination
By Dareen Tatour
Loneliness came in, taking me by surprise
Without knocking on my door
Like an impolite guest.
It sat at my desk
Picked up my pen
And stretched out its legs in front of me
And put its hands on my papers.
It leafed through my notebooks of poetry
And looked at me with all kinds of
Loathing and disgust.
I threw it out and now I’m alone.
