Homecoming
By Elizabeth Argall
Biography
These are my people
These people you mock
despise
and would control
They are my heartbeat
my country
my life
We are those who step sideways
Who fell through the cracks
spiders spinning
spinning a web of their own design
We are the wanderers
the wayfarers
the troubadours of this earth
singing songs
you do not yet understand.
