once my parents said
that we had to move
away from my home town,
my birth place,
my comfort zone.
I found myself
in Paris then,
hardly not speaking any french,
missing the beaches of Cali
and thinking of better times
Sitting in a little cafe
near Rue Bonaparte
sharing a cigarette
with a gray-haired stranger
philosophizing about life
and feeling the sand of
Santa Monica Beach
on my skin
Suddenly a stranger asked me
something I didn't understand
so I stuttered
menez-moi à la maison,
à l'endroit auquel j'appartiens

last sentence means: "take me home to the place I belong"
