"Left of Center"

By Sareena Sandhu


Stones are laid all over the ground.

There were prayers said to bring the peace.

The air of confrontation had just passed

It brought the eyes of the storm.



Why can’t I find the center?

The struggle for my strength

My support,

my roots, my trees.



Maybe I can’t write about this anymore

Maybe I can’t write



I ‘ve lived on the left

I’ve lived on the right

I’ve stuck my combat boots in the center

And they dance from side to side.



Until now I’m joining you

Left of center
