Abandoned
lost leaves reach out.
who will save
this vast orphanage,
a forest of muted hands?
who discarded them
below callous lawyers who barked?
who abandoned
them
to gutter, rot and
shadow?
who,
who would do this?
clothe them in tatters,
leave them to crane hungry,
for a sunny drop of rice?
beadles scuttle close by,
possessive in their gaze.
who left the lost, fragile leaves
vulnerable to such creatures?
who undid their innocence?
