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?
