Hidding in the Wheat Fields


    There was a field of yellow stalks
         Wheat all around me--
    Villages behind me and the sun before me
    And I didn't understand
    What I was doing there...
    Bare feet and water in baskets
         Moving in the heat
    But I couldn't slow down to watch,
    I had to keep running--
    They were coming for me,
    I felt their shadow on my heels
         Dark--but not like my skin...
    These strange people chasing me.
    My feet took me
    Somewhere in the wheat fields
    Blurry visions of gold and brown
    Twisting and turning beneath the stalks
    Past turbaned heads and dark bodies
    Faces, I wished I could stop to see
         And I knew they were my people,
              They knew me.
    But I kept running,
         Running for my life.
