I feel so small
so insignificant
a speck
that you will
never see
nor will you
ever hear
the heart that
beats within
me
i try to speak
but my words
get lost
in this crowd
the crowd that
surrounds me
and shrinks
me
to nothing
makes me
feel small
and insignificant
shrinks me
to
nothing
insignificant
subatomic
me
lost in this
crowd
forever
lost

2015 Patti Keno Poetry
by pattikeno
breaking into my silence
you steal away my soul
leaving me lonely and afraid
and out of control
aching I break
and fold in on myself
all alone I sink to
the floor
and still I ache
for more
kill me with your
words
swallow me with
your soul
swallow me whole
swallow
me
whole

2003 Patti Keno Poetry the caterpillar boy
by pattikeno
that which…
that which is empty and
clean and dry
.
that which…
that which is aching
inside of me
that which
.
I tried to see that which
lies within
but it’s too expensive to
see
.
that which…
that which is hidden
inside of me
remains hidden
forever
.
that which…
that which I hold so
dear is lost
.
that which…
that which forever
tears me apart inside
remains hidden
that which
.
