#emigrant
I knighted myself
and left home
to make the unknown
my own
Apprehensive of danger
I travelled ever further
hoping for a hand
and for the reassurance:
Stay, you are safe here
there is a place for you here
a place of your own
not a niche in one of the porches
where you remain a stranger
to the envoys and counsellors
You won't have to do much
in return, and you can
keep the memories
of your former life
