England seen by a foreigner
who has lived for too long
in there
Luis Elvira-Sierra
England is a wound
we carry smiling
England is a hound
sniffing the scent of fear
coming through our pores
England is a decision
taken on time
which seems so far away
England is like a map
of England itself
unfolded
or even better
written
on our bodies
under the skin
to remind us
how lost we are
in our quest
for a better life
we carry smiling
England is a hound
sniffing the scent of fear
coming through our pores
England is a decision
taken on time
which seems so far away
England is like a map
of England itself
unfolded
or even better
written
on our bodies
under the skin
to remind us
how lost we are
in our quest
for a better life
