Now we have arrived
in this new arrangement
strangeness surrounds us
even as we call it home
unfamiliarity
beats our hearts fast
when the lights are out
when wind roars overhead
infuriates us
looking for the lost
pieces of our old lives
and a new set of keys
drives us mad
dervishes of activity
moving dreamlike through
this odd landscape
And this is what we
came here to find?
What we all search for
it's not elusive at all
linguistically, that is
a few slips, trips of the
old tongue before we manage
to get the words right
tripping over old things
falling onto new floors
falling into new arms
and calling this all
home
