Overheard

…the naughty man will take you away.

I

overhear

waiting

to return home

from recent

trip

to India.

 

Tired,

washed-out

stripped

of

my

Core.

 

and I see

two women

struggling with little children,

toddlers,

tugging

sticky fingers

and pudgy arms.

 

All

as bewildered as me

by the light,

by the experience

emerging from the womb

of the airport,

newborn.
