Analysis of Detached
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
In the realm of glassy surfaces,
I stand by
With my lonesome eyes,
Framed by lashes
Where sorrow takes root,
And silence is my fate.
Within my cavernous sockets,
Worlds collide.
I witness nature's splendor
And cruelty so vast.
Yet, lonely I reside,
On this unforgiving partition.
