RAINBOW

Today my battered soul

 Rubbed shoulders with other bodies

In  a public carriage

  Bruised body keeping pace

With festering feelings

 And  shredded love 

The jostling ,the pushing

Poking of the crevices in  darkness

 When  feelings turned blue

Flowing out  like rancid wine 

Through vacant eyes

You travel in comfort

 In swanky cars

Insufficient to carry

 That inflated ego

   Crimson with my blood

  Your soul in hibernation

Your conscience silenced

   With lure of  'I'

  

Someday I'll live again

 My humble  dwelling alive

 With ripppling laughter

The splinters of glass

 Embedded in my heart

 Scatter light in a rainbow

My child's a woman now

  Her humanity  my award

My soul restored
