Theme: Migration

New Migrant

It was not escape and it was not freedom
the pouch of stemcells unnoticed at customs
my currency of negotiation
I was oppressed and an oppressor
tetrapack crumpled emotions
dustbinned and years later
recycled I no longer bartered
my expertise for reward
my morality was not tax deductible and
my love had no caveats
undirected and scattered on soil that was not mapped
unexpecting and receiving
more than I deserved I finally
learnt to measure in sensations.
