Poetry: Boy gone wild by Ramesh Dohan
Boy gone wild
by Ramesh Dohan
Once I found him in a far field
Small with wild legs, the boy stole my eyes
The day he was found
Up to his ankles in petals
Asleep on the roof when the rain came
Dirty haired boy,
I watch him wrestle
My Shadows
One fist ready for me
Leave him a blanket
Leave him alone
