Wandering about
seeking an identity
In pathless woods
In long driven rail rings
In shattered realities
Open eyed dreams
In mother’s lap
In blue eyed barbie
In walls of room
In broken toy key
In someone’s song
In virgin rims
In stranger’s smile
In parted kins
In ways of world
Struggling to be
In long drawn breaths
Fearing to breathe
In knocks at doors
Longing to seek
Sometimes in her
Sometimes in him
Sometimes here
Sometimes there
Often everywhere
Never
Never in me.
