Never Home

Never Home
Hollow shelter, echoed treasure body of no chest Mud twig tied, soft leaf cushioned hungry unbirded nest Shallow blue, lonely waters, silent wave of broken crest Direction who, sun drenched through the dying, dying west Orgasmic lights, city nights, a million people know what's best Unprotected alone the unsafe zone, even at home I feel like a guest

How we view our milieu is significant... I know a poor auto-rickshaw driver whose world is beautiful... Here in this strikingly written poem an individual alienation stands out in a phrasal presence so compelling that a sensitive reader has to go through, pause for quite some time, read again...
