Hear me
read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me
read
the poem as
a YouTube video.

Maybe I was skittish among
strangers:
Only you, my loved ones, owned my heart.
Racing into hiding, I would know,
Given time, the foreigners would go:
Here was home, in which they had no part.
As though I knew my fate, I dodged all dangers;
Nor could I alter it, for all my art.
