IMMIGRATION

i fetch up on this barren shore
with concrete trees and revolving doors
and am met by people with entry forms
and held to walls
and marched down halls
and don't try anything, son,
i know your type,
security is on call.
every time i come here
they put me on a different train
and the further on i go
the less and less it looks the same
as it did last time around
but they say i'm homeward bound
and they drop me off
in the middle of nowhere
      at the end of the line
             in an empty cell
not lost but found not lost but found.
by this time i'm weary and so
lie down to close my eyes
but find a hair i recognise
and instantly am asleep and go
to a dreamy place far away,
forget to forget a face, fall
from the warm embrace and
wake up on this barren shore
