DRIFTED

DRIFTED

drifted so far
from my
original position

passed the souls of a genocide
thousands of them
in a line
   waiting for something
as if
   put here on hold
stored for
the meanwhile
        pegged out to dry

and me
    even in this state
left to speculate what
calamity it might have been
to so
    overstretch resources
exhaust established facilities

leave them in
     this condition where

newcomers
might see

drifted so far
              so very far
from my original position

no hope now
of ever being found, let
         alone kindly received
