The Lost Children #5-8 Poem by GORDON GILHULY
The Lost Children #5-8
5
we offer our love:
coffee, beds, a one-night home -
it is not enough
6
tonight I pretend
you are my kin - tomorrow
I shall sleep alone
7
tonight we give you
our seven hours of duty -
who will give you love
8
everything you own
lies with you on the floor - who
would choose emptiness
