The Tibetan Refugee
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Famida Basheer
Other Poems by Famida Basheer



The Tibetan Refugee

He hangs up his woolens;
Earthy colours for sale
From a mountain country.
His eyes slit for Tibet;
His soul, his woman,
Laments the Lama.
Four decades of strange-land breath
Yellow the barricades
He nailed for space
To retain his self
Within himself.
Home is nowhere
Now.. here...
