TRAVELSSinking in pain |
|
ALONEConceived in the gale of a ruinous storm |
|
Partially killed, partially born |
|
Abandoned, abandoned, falling through space |
|
With nobody's eyes and nobody's face |
|
A foundling |
|
A child disconnected who no longer dries |
|
With a prisoners stare and an orphans eyes |
|
A free floating phantom held together by skin |
|
A small helpless stranger, a sign in the wind |
|
Washed into this work in fever and flood |
|
Tears remorse, sorry and blood |
|
Abandoned, abandoned left at the gate |
|
Cut loose un-tethered tattooed by fate |
|
A Foundling. |
