ENOUGH FOR ME

No one wishes to touch me

None desires even to glance me

The deserted one like myself

Is dumped from the town!

Renounced by humankind

Look but they at my face

Only to rebuke; only to scorn

They are aghast over my appear

My form makes them fright.

Sure they are, for I’m the one

Who needs to be reserved

Away from regular being.

But you, the stranger

Grant me your smile!

Like a sunflower in sunshine,

Like the tender zephyr

It fingers my heart in pleasure

Heals the wounds in my soul

The harm by stones thrown at me

By my so called kin and friends!

By the so called human!

Your smile, the elixir to my spirit

Gives me harmony

To live, to be awaken;

To breath, to be aroused.

I bow before you; kiss thy feet.

Enough for me, stranger!
