Ekarovwiy

 

By Ochuko Tonukari

 

 

Merovwore

From Uherevie of Evweren,

into

a familiar alienation,

To a beguiling breeze

That taunts

And whispers old secrets.

 

I gaze upon

A mirage so close

It can be tasted.

A haunting melody

That beckons,

That seeks to pierce

The paralysis of my past.

 

Take me back, if you will,

Or take me away.
