GRIM REAPER
The Reaper, with hourglass and hoar locks, Sees me dreaming of witches and warlocks, Of doing and fighting, Of loving, of writing, Taps my shoulder and says “I’m from Porlock’s.”
British by birth, Jamaican by registration, Canadian by naturalisation, Australian by descent.
Formerly Danish, too, but I lost citizenship in becoming Canadian.
But no permanent status in the country I was raised in (the Bahamas), or in the country I've been living in since 1991 (the US).
My flag is the blue-and-white of the UN, all other flags are historically interesting at best, despicable at worst.
