As I climb up on the roof
A dog in the alley comes
Into focus and from the
Moment his eyes are
Upon me he absolutely
Refuses to stop barking
I try to focus on the
Rising sun that slowly
Warms the Earth
Or the hyper birds
Singing songs of freedom
Yet I cannot escape
His loud reminders that
I am not wanted here
He continuously demands
“WHO ARE YOU?!”
“WHY ARE YOU HERE?!”
To this day I am asking
Myself the same questions
