Fish Out Of Water - Tina Manousakis


Brilliant pink clouds casting light,
Across the sky,
of a place once called home,
Give no solace now.
Just a harbinger of a stilted, going nowhere life.

Same old, same show.
Nothing to see here, folks, move along.
Show’s over.
Energy sapped, no air.
Back home now, I cannot move, cannot think, cannot see.
I flounder, skin tight, unable to breathe.
I am stifled.

There is no belonging.
I vascillate.
Unable to decide, take a step.
And so I flip and flop
Gasping for air,
Finding none.
