9 Nanos Off

9 Nanos Off
David J Walker

Are you feeling grey or green 
unnamed 
unforeseen 
Missionaries calling daily as the
Positionairies 	of repatriation 
		of stolen identification
		of silent salutation 
confessing unspoken temptation
and now 	you know
		you know 
		you are
alone 
at home
a part 
		of everything
a part of 	
nothingness 
loneliness
motherless
lost in
the lost land of 
the dark nowhere
		in the light of everywhere 

awareness  
might bring
		enlightenment
this time 
Count the Nanos one more time
