THE CIRCLE
as I drifted
hearing the leftovers
of the party
soft sheets
could not soothe to sleep
not invited
I wandered
who enjoyed
the laughter and
fraternity shared
the crowded streets
the horns of traffic
the sirens warned
as spring left
later than when
Yes "wandered" not "wondered" both have a bit of loss, and searching: one physically the other mindfully. The stanza contains both.
