Paige's Requiem

By:  

Meraz Mostafa

I stare out my tiny window

An amber sun evolves,

Stretching as if it clings

To the dreams of the dark night before

And I wonder why I still lay in

My prison bed alone and cold

Desperate I clutch water with my hands

Yet

Poetry suckled my pigeons I

With hands dipped

In oily pottery, fading from my mind

So I arise

But am back once more in my dreams
