I Packed My Things And Left

I Packed my Things and went Left

Simon's painting. Oil and watercolors on hardboard

On any lonely path I trekked

On the street bed I slept

Simon's painting. Oil and watercolors on cloth

For a while I thought I had

©Simon21

Everything I had dreamt

©Simon21

They roamed on the lonely streets

©Simon21

Like Formidable Societal Rejects

©Simon21

Suspicious walks and regular puffs

©Simon21

Asking why He protects

©Simon21

Only the Proud counterparts

Simon's painting. 'The Penetration'. Oil and silk on paper

 When it was Late in the night I thought

©Simon21

That my Sleep could be Found

©Simon21

Along the Road on any Empty Kiosk

©Simon21

He was there, Sack Bound

Up-and-Down breathal force

Simon's Clay marquette

 The poem is based on real-life  events. Artist's main source of inspiration is the first line of Dambudzo Marechera's book House of Hunger 'I got my things and left'. This is a tribute whose words lie hidden in the images relayed.
