I want to go Home.
But Home is one of those undefined,
unknowable,
un-understandable
entities that I can't quite wrap my head around.
Home is a mess of unresolved altercations that I should have let go of years ago.
But that I still hold close to my chest
And shield my heart with them..
To keep anyone and everyone out.
Home is a wandering target.
Elusively changing location and slipping from
State
To State.
Country
To Country.
Home is full of strangers that I let fill my place when I refuse to take responsibility for my own emotional shortcomings.
I keep her at Plane's Distance.
Home is a current GPS coordinate.
And I've kept myself at 37 N/122 W for a long eight years.
And I've kept myself at 37 N/122 W for a long eight years.
Home is a swirl of feeling like I belong and feeling like I can lose myself in the crowd.
The friendly balance of being seen and unseen simultaneously.
I Want to go Home
But I also want to just
Be
Here.
So here I'll stay.
Until Home makes sense again.
If I ever let it.
