Click hereThe uncouth barbarian
not part of a hoard,
but alone.
A lone,
restless rogue
roaming the urban sea.
Waves of faces.
Shifting land-locked ships of steel
with ports of glass and wood.
Not anxious to weigh anchor,
but aching to be chained,
grounded;
to have a home.
But where that is,
is as fluid as water.
Here one minute,
but seeping imperceptibly
and inevitably
away.
Away to where?
Away from here.
Away.
