Analysis of Not lonely enough
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I have a home but my cupboards are tiresome
My food is cold and dull
I long for the warmth
Like my family long ago
Who now sadly are lost
I cannot rhyme
Not be silent
Here
For my spirit replaced them
With each and every mournful good day
Now I walk down these words and go home again to my warm bed
I am not homeless
I am a beggar
And I am not lonely enough
