sing to me.
i've been a stranger once more
to your hills and valleys, to the
gaps of sunlight between your grasping evergreens.
i've been a stranger
to the red barn
with the smashed-in windows, to the denim sky
and the silos
calling me home.
calling me home.
to think
my new home looks like you, if i squint.
how funny,
that this road that isn't yours
will always remind me of you. five
years now.
i've been a stranger
far too long
to your pale crescent moon
and cool wet night
let my memories gather round
round and round
round like the loop on the dirt roads to our house
round and round you.
take me home.
