coincidence

[David_Kaine]

Distant connection,
Illusory closeness.

Against my will, 
I grow numb. 

Hints flickering slight-
of an infolding road.

Keeping my feelings away,
While our dim eyes won’t meet.    

Despite it —

You look more than jolly.
It still makes me feel sick, 
And yet content.

Some meaningless words, 
I can’t control this moment.

The loss passing through me.

You’re gone. 

I move. 

I can tell theres a desire to express yourself through poetry, but I feel like youre holding back.  Too many vague flashes of feeling. I think you could fill in all those spacings between lines with details, where were they jolly, how were you sick, describe the moment how its out of control, what makes the words meaningless.  I think you have a lot of opportunity here for a stronger poem but that could just be me.  Good luck!
