Thaïs Donovan

When she learnt
she was moving to England, 
feelings of anger and fear arose.

On the plane,
uneasy and consumed by dread
her eyes transfixed on the ocean below.

Finding her feet,
she learnt the vowels
and consonants and verbs of
the English language from scratch.

But now,
surrounded by her reconstruction she is satisfied with

Mon chez

moi hors

de chez moi.
