"When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep" - WB Yeats
"When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep" - WB Yeats
I light a cigarette
And stare at the empty openness
From the tiny balcony
Unable to offer a visible smile
In the children's park
The fallen leaves dance with the breeze
The stray pups play, undisturbed
We’re learning what to do
Smoke from my cigarette vanishes
In the intense isolation
The guards stand exposed and helpless
The battle, however, is only beginning
