Homeless

'Homeless' by Alec Davison

by Alec Davison 29th September 2017

I looked into his eyes
and saw only emptiness
infinite resignation: despair.
I saw someone drowning
in the ocean of hurting,
rootless, flotsam, adrift
homeless: without home.
No belonging, no company
someone beaten to nothingness.
Empty eyes, empty heart.
