Anchorage

He has the faith of not belonging to anything,

a rootless thief who shifts and steals

from one brief moment to another

without a culture of his own.

 
Adrift forever tying knots

to seal an anchorage not belonging to God,

to family or to the land itself

with its peculiar heritage.
 

Ageless, adrift, alien and alone

forever searching for something

familiar to know:

                        familia, a household

                        fames, he dwells.

note: fames is the Latin for famine, hunger.
