Poetry from Jessica Hu

Coming Home From the Middle of Nowhere

Take me home, will you?

Hello, hello, can you hear me?

I am here in the middle of nowhere.

I do not know where to go,

Even though my destination is here,

The wind is blowing into my back:

I am kind of cold.

Take me home will you?

Bang, Bang Bang!

Hello, Hello, you hear me right?

I am walking an endless corridor,

The choice is formed.

Burning fluids run down the unknown.

My mother is banging on the bathroom door like a knife about to come through the door and me.

/1

/2

/3….

I’ll stay cold.

I’m going home.
