An Imaginary Wall
POETRY FORMAT, 22 Jun 2015

You stray dog!!
You stray dog!!
From the other side
Of the wall
Dripped a noise
A ceaseless bray
Without a counter bark
You dog!!
You dog!!
You stray dog!!
Something wrong
A fire
A burst in a chaos
A crying sound
A kid was in it randomly
He who is called dog
Stays silent
Or is gone
Or one who is called dog
May be the kid
After I was called
I called to my self
Stray dog!
I stray dog!!
Touching the wall
Stray dog!!!
No one listen
No one care
The wall recalls me ironically
