Stealing Identity
By Murray Dunlap
By Murray Dunlap
My life went awry
In that very instant
Timed to the split second
Without my heart
Indefinite conclusion and
Lost identity
A vagrant continued life
Iron weights in my pockets
Cement in my shoes
I journey on
I find respite
In the life of another
Stolen from photographs
Interpretation
Now
A vagrant continued life
Iron weights in my pockets
Cement in my shoes
I journey on
