Lost home

Lorenz

The rags of despair 

that have human form

no longer invent lives

fossilized  for moons .

     Thoughts .

I'm citizen of comings and going

that look like a comic street .

 Inbound and outbound ...

I'm the central station sentinel

who watches over the air currents.

Above me I have a roof 

open to all winds .

I share my feeder with rats and pigeons.

  Is my soul so dirty ?

    It's raining on your memory .

   Forgotten old  comedy ...

A story of Marylin and a millionaire

or just a bunch of misfits 

 of which you was not  a member .

 Dressed like a lord ,

  you were called '' Patron ! ''

The present is a shoe with a hole in it...

      Thoughts .

 I look for a face in the rush !

   Your's or someone else ?

  Maybe the eyes of a good god...

Prisoner of my freedom 

all is confused .

 Noon plays midnight ...

I am dead but am I steel sleeping ?

I'd like to shave off that guerilla beard .

I will present my résumé to the eternal 

who will offer me a cigarillo 

and sent me straight to master Lucifer !

Tomorrow ,I'll promise ,before living 

I'll knock on the door and the child 

will open it for me !

    All things are not as they seem. This poem offers so many metaphors it is like a house of mirrors where one reflection begets another. A wonderful cascade of images.

      Our metro stations are being turned into hotels .Our hospital services are in tatters ! And Brussels is sending another 30 billiards in arms to Ukraine !

      • Ellen Marsell

        A cold wind drifts through these lines, carrying the scent of old regrets and unanswered prayers.

        • Lorenz

          When the living is left...
