Lonely

In the light of my loneliness
tonight--
the world casts shadows
sullen, as though
absorbed in early rain--
the way starlight hangs,
shadow of black and falling up
--holes that could break
shatter down, not old
or infallible
--lonely--
and i live somewhere
beneath God's curtain

This is absolutely...I can't even think of the right word. It feels like waves, I think, it has a sort of gentle sweep and crash and it's heavy in the way a quilt is. Anyway xD This is so lovely!!
