Possession

I have been dispossessed from a country
displaced from my name
but I have not lost my landline
because my greatest connection is the land
the land I walk on is my lifeline
my friend, my daily reassurance
the field, the red earth
the fire smoke farmland
the grey all consuming ocean
birds crossing the horizon at daybreak
calling me back to the forefront
thy have become my allies
reliable, punctual rhythms, no questions
no answers.
