Cobalt cosmos

Cobalt cosmos
Crossed at night
In the belly
Of an iron kite

Over the oceans
Of foreign domain
Across the scapes
Of alien terrain

Blistered shell
Emptied wide
Lost in confusion
Against the tide

In a river
Of human flesh
Belongings discarded
Impassive mesh

Now clear of wonder
And from the link
From the former lands
On the brink

Forever forgotten
And brushed away
The native soil
The dusty clay
