night x loneliness

the night is either self-satiable or utterly lonely - no, this is not loneliness emanating from a void that needs & can be filled (by any human from a world that hardly cares, or cares too much). this is a kind of loneliness that does not know what it wants & knows no drugs - a type of loneliness that deliberately negates human interaction bc it knows it needs to be left alone, but does not know why or how. yes, loneliness is like a spoilt child in a tantrum: a child who thrashes his hands wildly to attract parental attention & is furious regardless of the treatment he gets.

 the night is quiet, or deafening for want of hearing
