Unrest

As I sat by the window
Looking at the crowds 
Torched up in profanity

A bubble of smoke

Drenched in my breath

A burning photograph

Seared in my brain

A smile lost somewhere

And left behind
Waiting for reclamation

The little boy

As he turned to ash
Smiled at me 
In utter desperation

I think

For a moment , he knew.

Trapped in a fishbowl

Ashore the sea.

A smile forged of pain

Stamped in futility.
