what has become of the glimpse
over her shoulder as she turns her back
and runs straight into america?
what happened to the twin pairs of eyes
pleading her for reasons,
as they turned to ashes in the heartless affairs of men?

she comes here seeking freedom,
redemption to the girls she left behind,
what she finds
are dreams,
our only possible inheritance.
