The Orphan’s Monologue
Poetry by Anne Shane Baluca | May 9th, 2009
What is home?
A child asked
as the sun sinks
lower to nothingness.
Is it just a place
where you can find
comfort,
even when there is too
much rain or sunshine?
Home cannot just be found.
A shelter, yes, everyone can find.
But home is a place
where you can find comfort,
even if it is uncomfortable inside.
