Elsewhere
November 28, 2018
Sun streaming through the clouds
Like water dripping through cracks in a wall
A desperate call from Elsewhere
Rings in the ceaseless Nowhere
With the slave to the silence itching
To reach out for it
But the chain on her ankle
Hangs an inch too tight
Bound from the roots her family
Matured over generations
To keep her from the prosperous
Son of Elsewhere
