home is an encounter
a crush of water and an island
within the infinite river
pieces of puzzles
pieces of clods
chafed by the river, fumbling for a longer-lasting touch
unable to sink
unable to sink, into the continent
from the flow of life
paralyze me with your waves
wash me away
drawn me and close my eyes…
until we wake up in the sands one day
under the sun, on the edge of this island
and find one another
oh before the tide takes me along again
before the sun burns us down
Let’s just lie here
Let’s just lie here
remaining the fractions of this puzzle
a vague picture of homeland
haphazardly pieced together, an oasis
settling on the mirage of the rest of the world…
