Eight line poem
Realigning, shifting, sliding.
That’s how it felt to leave.
Changing, readjusting, missing
Family, crying. We were so naïve.
Looking forward, looking back.
One foot there, the other one here.
Is this right? Shall I unpack?
Give it time. At least a year.

Prompt write a shifting poem.
This poem demonstrates how it felt to leave my country fifty two years ago
