"I can't leave home."
screamed the kid in dream
waking me up in my own.
Rolling tears from his cheeks
to that of mine, entangled we stood.
Wishing to hold the curtains, a little closer
until tommorow and more (kal(s)) ~
rubbing his runny nose against it
he tried, harder, leaving the destiny helpless.
Wish i could ask his home
to let him stay, for time a little more
than what they say is time immemorial.
But of late, the door had plans.
Against every slam, that left a heartbreak
tonight all of them are taking away fragments of
"Hi sunshine, welcome back",
and so now he repeats after no one~
"I have to leave home."
