How can I forget
Those crumbs
Ghee tricking
From between
Your untired fingers
I remember
You would cuddle me
When at sunbeams birth
I would scurry
To recite English Alphabets
And when at my comeback
Rhymes sailing in the mind
And on lips leaping
Yes at the door at dusk
You would shout at my play
Oh I had got my leg sprained
But that was the best cure
How careful wrapping in the quilt
Whenever the chill fanned
And she put me against
Her thumping chest
Where are those days
Where is she
Where am I
They are at home
She is in the kitchen
I am on the rollicking chair
I would I had dropped in your days
My son my dear my heart

They surround me
They threaten me
They do not scare me
Yet I am helpless
What do they want with me?
They make me angry
They make me empty
They are meaningless
Yet I give them power
What about me attracts them?
I am outnumbered
I am weak
I let them devour me
And when I am gone they choose someone else
And the cycle carries on
