A Sanctuary For Solitary Souls

by Ann Lee, Purpleyhan

THIS IS A SANCTUARY FOR US SOLITARY SOULS.

If they ask you:
“Where have you been?”
Say: It’s a haven
where the recluses convene—
a safe space,
where loneliness isn’t shamed,
where your demons
can be trained and tamed;
a place to hide
when you’ve nowhere to go
