"I? Never"

… driving alone,
at night,
… pains about
ways I’ave gone
… alone? Yep …
let me look …
… alone
… alone

I long to atone
… evil paths--
what I have
all that I have
what I’ave sown

aching in my bones
“grief” obstructs—
murmurs its antipathy
even in my silence
… somber tones?
Let me hear … yep, somber
tones of tones

groans and groans
enmity disrupts
my soul,
as I drive near
construction zones
down a road, I might
collide traffic cones
… off the streets

of souls I'ave known
I would that I could regress—
undo my paths through you
… become, for you, only, paint
on a road; or, a sign,
so ,remotely, stood
where not one roams—
unknown
