No words for it

Dispersion from an erstwhile homeland
Is diaspora
Often characterized by
An inability to make a home
Anywhere else

What of those
Dispersed from a land
That was never theirs
Also characterized by
An inability to make a home
Anywhere else

A longing for ancient roots
Is atavista
What about an attachment
To roots that are not your own
