Names, places, things. <br />Whither, thither, wither. <br /> <br />Names that speak of where you come <br />Or began or have become. <br /> <br />Names, faces, and places. <br />Nothing, noone and nobody you have become. <br /> <br />When my mother was young, she would <br />Play with me, her face showed her love. <br />But that was far away, when I was someone. <br /> <br />Perilous was the crossing. From one life to another. <br />Am I an entity still? What do I become? <br /> <br />I speak in strange words to a stranger in a strange land. <br />An entity, yet but in my mind I think: <br />No Homeric persona am I, not a protagonist <br />Just an entity on the brink <br />Of nonentitiness, of trying to understand. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/entity-and-nonentity/
