Home LandA Poem by Sarah FStanding on a field of white French lilies Breeze like a Russian blue winds round my legs Spanish moss obscures the path, my eyes Lift heavily to a Mexican sun My Jewish mother told me to be brave She beat the Persian rugs until they bled German chocolate crumbles on the wooden floor On the table, dark Brazil nuts My Christian father comes home late Eyes and mouth burn with the Grecian fire Says I have stepped to the beat of the Indian tabla! I have run with the Hungarian stallion! My American friends tell me Diversity is the great Trojan Horse Take it out like Chinese It is not a gift, but God’s curse © 2011 Sarah F |
