Poem

In lieu of a new post critiquing some random bullshit, or channeling my inner monologue onto the written screen, I’ve decided to share a poem I wrote with y’all. I am back home for a bit, and it’s got me feeling a certain way. I’m having issues with formatting so to separate the stanzas I’ve added dashes here and there. Enjoy!

–

Memories of a distant past:

Surrounded by a zoo,

Marble under my feet,

Tummy red with joy.

–

The week ends underground,

Mirror peeking into my soul.

Two roads set to diverge

Brought back together—

Under construction.

–

Arabic risen,

English fallen.

Running to and fro.

Eluded belonging.

–

Time passes by

All too fast.

–

The sun returns

At dawn

To a new day,

But no zoo.
