My youth was spent fleeing xenophobic bores.

I traveled to Athens and Timbuktu
I bathed in Alhambra, Granada too
I could never shake my brooding school.

The Arrival

And I came - naked -
free!
Burned by destiny’s
anthem
yet cloistered by the fire of
my desire spitting
hopes out towards the horizons
that shrunk away
from my tremendous commitment
to suck up all my
disappointments
and mistakes and imbibe them

cleansing power,
burn away the
