An Imaginary Wall

POETRY FORMAT, 22 Jun 2015

Udaya R. Tennakoon – TRANSCEND Media Service

You stray dog!!
You stray dog!!
From the other side
Of the wall
Dripped a noise

A ceaseless bray
Without a counter bark
You dog!!
You dog!!
You stray dog!!

Something wrong
A fire
A burst in a chaos
A crying sound
A kid was in it randomly

He who is called dog
Stays silent
Or is gone
Or one who is called dog
May be the kid

After I was called
I called to my self
Stray dog!
I stray dog!!

Touching the wall
Stray dog!!!
No one listen
No one care
The wall recalls me ironically
