Facing East, to the valleys
what can someone recall?
Is it really a memory repressed
or just a deceit of imagination?
I am having another home, I remember,
built inside of me,
but I cannot always find my way
and sometimes I even believe it’s drown in the
waves.
As for the coast,
it appears far and more far away
every when the sun comes
and I am staring at it.
And it feels like I’ve never grown,
not a single day has passed
since the first time
an ocean separated my heart.
So when I attempt
to cross this water and make it home,
a storm is waking
and the sun is gone.
And home is
a distant light in the darkness
stealing my heart,
or whatever part of it I’ve maintained.
