Return Something around has changed. Yet I feel like a stranger in a place my heart has explored. Every sight around me is different. Long enough for faces to have turned alien, Long enough for speech to turn trivial and slurred, Unknown voices fly past me down the hall, As I search my mind listlessly for words. I m an intruder on this picture of distressing calm And discipline.
Vague recollections fail to serve as balm.
I try to awaken memories from their torpor and recognize My home in this curious act unfolding before my eyes. I want to escape the disturbing order Thrust upon me. But I wait as time s spool Unwinds seconds stepping soundlessly by. I ll have to resign to the rules. Here is the place to submit your poem to be published in Poetry Today Online.
