Ostracized
The room was open
And breezy
Spring sunlight filtering
To land on clinking forks
And crystal glasses.
The room rang with
Laughter and clinked rings,
Shook with tossed heads and
The sound of educated voices
Talking books and art.
The room was happy
All but one corner
Housing a loneliness
That all eyes skipped over:
A waif, longing to belong.
