WANDERLUST

To fly to other worlds

Where even the language

Reminds me of no past,

To wander unfamiliar roads

Relieved of the possibility

Of confronting familiar faces,

To laugh and sing and dance

As I will, without a memory

Of why I was and what

Others were to me,

To be, at last, free

To be the who I really am—

Ah, yes, this is the truth

Behind  my wanderlust.
