TRESPASSES AND OFFENCES
he went to the city when young
in body
and in mind
the city of fables and mysteries
histories and labels
to face
himself and others
in streets narrow
and wide
and in eyes
sunken
and deep
uncaring
even like sheep.
wooled over
world apart
he saw brunets and blonds
who could speak to him
who should speak to him
and
was speechless
lest
they did not see
did not appraise
did not
he saw houses
with no owners visible
shops with nothing available
stone edifices
stone faces
fuming things
and fumbling humans
and learned loneliness
for himself
and others
he came back
himself
and
as another
to the same
to do the same
to think
some more
to search some more
to plan to visit some more
