We who left home, left before we knew it.
\nTaught not to go far, always travel light,
\nwe learned that lightness takes us farther.
\nWe changed our names then countries too.
\nWe saw more to sight than met the eye.
\nFlying was such a dream, flying in a dream
\nwas like holding breath, taking roofs for runways,
\nclearing with a single bound jagged stands
\nof trees, warding off with airborne kicks
\nthe suffocating snatch and grasp of others.
\nNowhere is near, so not that far to go.
\nLanguage is just a way of putting things
\nbut beauty is the memory of the flesh.
\nNow everywhere we go we want to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
