My body...

My body is a stranger-
A foreign land I have
not travelled

A luxury neglected
one calloused foot
step at a time

A gaping hole, neither
Ben nor Jerry
could fill

A  sacrifice,
now wrinkled and frail,
to a brown eyed little girl

Waiting, waiting
to be scooped up

Refuge taken in
the fortress of
my mind…

I think therefore

I am

Therefore

I am

There

I am

But where…
Where??,
Oh where…
Am I?
