To leave home,
old friends,
with nothing,
but tales,
hope,
desire,
desperation,
fed,
into the ears,
somatized,
every breathe,
every step,
every dose,
of sleep,
tinged,
with arrival,
to USA,
a friend,
aunt,
uncle,
friend of,
a friend,
father,
mother,
were told,
it becoming,
a communal task,
to get,
the daughter,
or son,
to USA,
a street cabby-hole,
housing a trafficker,
is the first stop,
promises are made,
money,
a lot,
is exchanged,
the next day,
the cabby-hole,
and the trafficker,
disappear,
but still,
the hope,
desire,
to come,
to USA,
remains,
one,
two,
years,
pass,
revived plans,
goats and lamb,
chicken and cow,
entire estates,
are sold,
and still to USA,
they get.
