Asylum Seekers Lament
We loved to share (when we were free)
we shared the river, and the tree,
you shared your heaven and I
my earth:
then in the evening, we shared
our mirth
We could not share the pain of birth,
the look of shock, when in the dock:
the surfer’s wave, just passed us by,
as nimbus clouds, in clear blue sky
We often shared, a thousand times,
when together, all those rhymes,
but now we’re split, and all alone,
we simply gaze, the silent phone
