Home, she said,
Home
Those flowery curtains in Surrey
Taking tea on the lawn
Sheep on the downs behind us
The grass on Kew Green at dawn
The glint of the river from Richmond hill Kicking up leaves in the park Sloane Square at Christmas Fulham bars after dark The people, all those places The every day familiar places.
"You're not English, go home!" She said
A lifetime of belonging
Assaulted with a snarl.
