OUTSIDE THE GATES

 Outside the gates,

I counted to seven—

and I fell down.


My memories still intact,

I looked around and felt:

this is not my world.”


Since when did love become

illegal, wanted, indiscriminate?


My will, will not survive in here.


I see eyes full of fear,

full of tears,

as if something is missing.


Everyone is alone.

Everybody is a stranger.


And I wonder…


Does anybody feel

my heart,

my love?


And then I understood:


What is missing

is what they seek.
