the poetry knook, the poetry of stephen m. james

Step outside

Step outside your room, step outside yourself:
listen to the noise pounding drums
of “loved” ones.
Step outside your house, step outside yourself:
you have a roof but no field
to venture out with veggies.
Step outside your yard, step outside yourself:
for the greatest was homeless
yearning to share his with us.
