even now,
I don't find it easy
to get up and go—
all I ever sought was refuge,
not the promise of home
I swear
a flower uprooted
carried away in the breaths
of thirty-two hard, harsh,
and unforgiving a-gusts
it would seek a temporary truce,
not the promise of peace
I swear
ironic how I want to be seen
as a little more than less
and realizing just now
that I am an it
without a sense
of place
how have I come to know such faith
in the images painted of me by hands
other than my own?
