are there
heartstrings taut
and a’pulling
barred
so strong
and tender once
my ancestral home
to me
where nay never
shall I leave
here my motherland
liberated
and return
again and again
to you impatiently
even
in my sleep
that old familiar
bumboat
droning low
in the sound of my youth?
here I am
coming home
even in my sea-dreams!
