Out of Sight, Deep Into Mind
You have come undone
And I was air.
Then I betrayed you- not with a man,
But with a country that owned me blind
And enchanted to the edges.
This alingual scent of a colorless skin
Tamed my cells into being loud
And I am numbed of life now.
I perspire a no man’s land in my pores
And on that limb of grace,
My homelessness feels warm and cozy
To the thought of you and the likes of me.
Different is to walk into familiar clothes
And have them stare at your nakedness
And unwind the threads of you
Out loud and plain to see.
