A Land Of No Return Poem by Ali Ahmad Said Esber
A Land Of No Return
Rating: ★3.5
Even if you return, O, Odysseus;
even if spaces close around you,
and the guide is burnt to ashes
in your bereaved face
or your friendly terror,
you will remain a history of wandering,
you will remain in a land of no promise,
you will remain in a land of no return.
Even if you return,
O, Odysseus
