Foreign

i’ve touch down on foreign ground 

waiting for it to feel natural under my toes

i’m a visitor who pays rent 

a tourist who grocery shops every weekend 

a human whose world keeps moving

from apartment to apartment

i say hi to my new neighbors 

hoping to eventually be accepted 

my house is still not home

but the feeling will grow 

and so will my roots

again a flower growing from concrete

nothing foreign to me
