Coal Mining Camp Ghost Town
(Loneliness Acrostic)
Low lantern light; long shadows
On the tent of loneliness.
Near a waning fire;
Eerie eve’s envelopment.
Loop of swarming silence
Infestates mind’s forest floor;
Nocturnal navigates my soul —
Echoes coal cavern core.
Serenading sonnets sought to
soothe my solemn fate.
Solitude soon stakes its claim
and weighs heart’s saddened
state.
