Becoming Ithaca

This poem is for you. You who were found washed ashore on the island I was sworn to protect. You who crossed my border. You who showed me the bittersweet taste of drowning at sea. I am sinking now, drowning in your eyes, naked, stripped of my identities, my prejudices, my defenses. I am sinking now, drowning in love.
