I’ve lost my homeland
I have lost my homeland!
I wish I were upset,
I wish I felt even a little anger,
so I would know I still love you.
I shake this old numbness in my canteen;
it sounds like sand.
I have lost my thirst,
only one hand remains of
on my chest, on the pocket of your letters.
I wish I were fed up, or upset, or longing,
so I would know I still love you.

I have lost my homeland
in the sound of sirens,
and in the “white state” of your shirt,
in forgotten naphthalene years,
in folded lines.
Only
a cricket inside my chest
keeps singing without stopping…
