“New Country” by Richard Donnelly

NEW COUNTRY

our life should be magic
we should live in a new and ever-
changing world there should
be wonders
mountains
unexplored villages
with small golden people
our clothing simple
a foreign language
which we speak
and just understand

from Rattle #50, Winter 2015
