Alien Expatriate

In a world of similarity,
I am the difference.
I cannot read their eyes here;
I am a foreigner.
I came here for understanding, yet
in this place
they try
to understand me.

Individuals move close to one another;
It is esoteric to me.
I am reminded only of
Orbits and gravity and dense atmosphere,
thick with oxygen.

They have emotions
in this world
are fragile, too
are very much
the same.

When she approaches,
my heart quickens
a dying sun.

I came here for understanding, yet
from her
all I have learned is
a man can be coaxed.
