One Shoot Sunday : Homelessness

Tossed on the ground

like any other debris you kick as you pass

your avoiding eyes still pierce

the stench of my last refuge


wrapped, huddled in mourning

for what you take for granted

for what I once had


and I beg you

screaming silent prayers

please stop, please stop, please stop, please stop

lift me from this dispair

I just need one hand to get back up.

  2. wrapped and huddled in mourning…this was really strong
    my husband used to work with homeless people…can be really hard sometimes..some grab the hand..others don’t..

  3. Josepf – an honor to have you share. I love the aspect of despair you take – a state of mourning for the past. I also like the conviction that it only take one hand to help – excellent

    thanks Leslie

  4. The last line is the killer *I just need one hand* It’s too easy to get here, it’s so tough to get out.
