Valsa George Poet Verse

Exodus

(Exodus of Refugees)

Trotting over dried up dreams
leaving love to die, identity to dissolve
they let familiar terrains swim past view
with everything slipping out of eye shot
no looking back, the unknown stretches far ahead
behind the hills, muffled cries die down
