Nikki Giovanni: Cotton Candy On A Rainy Day...

don’t look now
i’m fading away

into the gray of my mornings
or the blues of every night

is it that my nails
keep breaking

or maybe the corn
on my secind little piggy

things keep popping out
on my face or of my life

it seems no matter how
i try i become more difficult
to hold

i am not an easy woman
to want

they have asked
the psychiatrists … psychologists …
politicians and social workers
what this decade will be
known for

there is no doubt … it is
loneliness
