Spilling Dua

Have you not heard of the compass, or seen a weather vane

On a roof?

Let us not ignore the thousands and millions of people who have traveled

Before us, eastward and westward, between north and south

In search for another world, old or new.

Their travels have shaped, whether you like it or agree with it,

The various connotations to which the compass needle must submit.

There are also eastward and westward winds as well as ocean currents,

That have defined trade routes and many a

Romance.

Alongside nature, there is history that spills out

Into our unconscious: footprints in the rain.
