Crab in a Seashell

Living in borrowed homes,
Never had one of her own,
Treading on estranged sands,
Beneath the scorching sun.

Hermit. Misfit.
Sehnsucht. Hiraeth.
Peerless part,
Lacuna in her heart.

Square peg in a round hole,
Crab in a seashell, far from whole.
Seeker of a shore untold,
Chasing dreams she longs to hold.
