Stonehenge

I have come to English
from elsewhere

like Conrad from Poland
like Khalil Gibran from Lebanon
like George Frederick Handel
from Germany

I have come to English
from elsewhere
like the Jewish-written
King James Bible

I have come to English
from elsewhere
like the Psalms of David

I too am in exile in English,
in England

a strange man in a strange land
I have come here from
who knows where
