The Emigrant



















In all the rooms with darkened wallpaper,
By all the beds in which I've ever slept,
in all the towns I couldn't settle down in,
To this day no inhabitant knows my name.
A flock of goats is wandering on the mountain;
by people and by oceans leads a track.
A greater homeless one has led me past them;
I am a child of strange and alien planets.
