Home
With Christmas looming once again
I drag gifts across town
board a plane heading for
what used to be home
always looking for that
Hello dear
so glad to see you
Old smells
the pulsing of familiar blood
some sense of lasting love
in a town of faces growing faint with time
friends scattered in Los Angeles
Zurich
Oakland
Santa Fe
Baby boots kick
a happy squeal and quick kiss
eyes sparkle
then languish
flexible
fuzzy
relationships
This aerodynamic tumbling
leaves stretch-marks
in my heart
Here I am
still searching the earth
for a home
