Un-belong

Through the window pierced

Her pointless stare

Among strange people

Her eyes gleamed of despair

She reminisced her heartbeat merge with thine

The delicacies you demanded

That she must dine

The love you sought

With kicks you fought

Ceaseless prompts of an offspring

Gelusil, her fancied drink

Throw ups and lie downs, her bustle

Then you appeared out of the canal

She breathed in your scent.

Your tiny hands clasped her little finger

Your benign eyes trusting

You both grew and grew

She grew more

And waited at the door

That which was not home but still called it

Your stingy life was squandered, not spent

She sought your little finger to hold

You pulled your hand back

She pushed herself into wet moss

You will get a call soon.

Sooner than soon

To say you were a burden to your cross
