wave after wave
of misfortune
hitting her
relentlessly
marooned
a boat
in mid sea
ill fated to
hers souls
poverty
her child
makes life
living
a challenge
on an island
of despair
a reluctant
refugee
hiding her face
from the maker
not to shame him
by her penury
tears tricking
down her face
on the starched
face
of humanity
i shot her
she shot me
i was as much
a beggar
taking
her picture
down
on my knees
only on cyberspace
you will find beggars
such as these
images
that in their
stillness freeze
a chaotic world
searching
'for elusive peace
