Onism

Day-27 NAPOWRIMO

Prompt: To write a poem inspired by the entry from " Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows"

Onism the frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time, which is like standing in front of the departures screen at an airport, flickering over with strange place names like other people’s passwords, each representing one more thing you’ll never get to see before you die—and all because, as the arrow on the map helpfully points out, you are here.

A kaleidoscope  belonging to

Another world

 Carrying hope on its wings, cuts across the sky.

It tempts a prisoner , stuck in a quagmire

To break the walls

But, the noise within, shuts all the doors.
