Refugee
To have no home, no place to go To be without—identity. Nothing in a pocket Shoes without laces Time too much to spend Grieving. Hope hanging from a noose In a stranger’s hand. How does the heart survive? Where is the kindness that kills The dogs of war? The fires have burned to ashes Smoke rises without flame And the future is a long, cold night lost Alone.
