Stranger
Standing and turning.
.
Do I face a real unknown?
Or a familiar countenance
in unfamiliar veil.
.
Partly mine and not my own;
What I survey I do
as traveler:
Where do I trespass?
Where am I at home?
.
This is not my land
these are not my words,
my sounds,
and to partake may be forbidden
by some unknown orthodoxy:
is it other or my own?
