Poem for Today


Cities
In beautiful hotels,
In maddening and difficult cities,
Plump with anger and wealth.

In the pine forests, damp-cool and free,
Under a swirling night,
Of lights and dust and voices,
Far away, but right here around me.

In all this space,
And flow of time,
I walk in a small wire cage.

With nothing to witness me,
Without the joy of someone’s pride,
With no reasons.

This is being without love.
