The Stranger
One of many, nothing special. He fled
his family to find his voice, toiled hard
for freedom. Having lost himself
in the concrete jungle, he found
himself unhappy in isolation.
Moods of cloud hold a lid on his sky.
At great risk our hunter, radically changed
closes in on human kindness.
Confronting granite like anyone
keen glows the eye of our hero
whenever his goal feels near.
Have mercy.
