Expats, foreign workers, people
who are stuck, stay and continue
dreaming of a free life
as shepherds and cattle lords
in their own country
of grassy meadows, milk, and honey
the old promise
The young men long
for the beautiful girls
of the north
while they do the work here
in the delta, where they feel at home
in the stories
of the ancient god who created the world
with thoughts from his heart, living
words from his mouth, the Potter
who molded man
stories
that mold their souls, giving some light
when it is dark in their hearts
filled with old ash in which still glows
the fire of the Destroyer
