Glimpses of Home(lessness)

I expect

self-respect.

When I find

unlike minds,

I wonder

and ponder,

"Will they charge?

There's such pain!"

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

Paused, I take in the day.

The breeze, the chance of rain,

the seagalls and their ways,

children's joy, not contained

and I am gratified

that I am still alive.

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

New surroundings

every few days.

I am loving

nomadic ways.

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

A topless woman

approached me today.

"Can you spare some change?"

She was unafraid.

Placed her on my page.

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

The simple gesture

of giving heals me.

My perspective changed

since losing my home.

I'm better for it.

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

Temporary work.

Completely different

from the usual,

but I am grateful.

I arrive early,

do a thorough job

and hope they keep me.

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

Sincere friendships,

lifelines

during hardships.

Sometimes

my foot may slip.

They’re kind.

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

People come and go

at the shelter.

I have to be bold,

Speak from the soul.

People come and go.

This is the me

Glimpses of Home(lessness)

Exhaustion set in.

Eyes, barely open,

unfocused, don't see

as the traffic speeds.

Though I felt no pain,

my blood was Red Rain.
