tried it on today, home, the
word, the ideal
is it Texas, place of my birth, my
coming of age, Where the hours grew to
years then deaths, Where I played
in dirt and dreamt, fought to be
is it northwest Where my
father remarried resettled, found
new family, new life
is home a place, Where blood resides
fixed Where things are stored
transient Where I lay my head at night
Where I’m going
Where I’ve just left
is it Where I’m from
Where I live now
home seems a memory
not yet come forth
