I echo Carolyn. Your imagery is stunning. Voice as moss, microphone cord...

"As the ancestors

of my stolen past,

Arrived to warning:

“This land is our land,”

As a Lebanese girl growing up among Anglo Saxons, who was always referred to as "the dark one" and who felt the lack of acceptance...well, I resonated.

And became, finally, blessedly a poem writer. Thanks!
