“Whispers in a Crowd: Ian Fletcher’s Poignant Exploration of Solitude Amongst the Extroverted”
What she possesses within
would not survive outside
in the open where they dwell
though what they need she has
to quell that inner emptiness

She perceives the void beneath
their noisy exteriors, smiling
inwardly while they orbit around
pulled but repulsed by her gravity
a closed book to these lost souls
forever circling never nearing.
