rationalization of the hermit
I
looking out
tempest mounts
winds intensify
waves rise/crash to
ground trembles
stars descend
landscape lashed to grit
elements bombard
fragile mortal flesh
equilibrium
erodes
asymmetrical harmonies
mute distant melody
rhythm accelerates
tempo quickens
II
back inside
shadow laughs
at light
projected existence
stolid man
within
ponders interaction
no risk no regret
no laughter no tears
no expectations no dissolution
strategic solitaire advantages
no love no hate
no action
no regret
no t ouch no pain
the hermit attests
severed
in his cave
