ROOTLESS
Hidden from the eyes of others
I was made in secret
but I can’t remember my birth
from foetus in the womb
to severing of the cord
erased the memory
now rootless in the valley
fading sensations of years
pierce the darkling wings of
world wide web that blob my being
twisted and tangled, brushed
away like a fly hate mongers
hash tag my creation
pirouetting platitudes
