Home Is Where You Are, Not Where You Were
Home, but
no one’s here.
Radio’s on, making
noise like a paint distorted day.
We were a busy array back when.
All that entering and
exiting through the door.
Just for a while.
Just for forever. Racing
in and out of our own tapestry.
Where are those words
we pushed aside.
It’s a madness of time,
and flapping about
like brittle-boned birds.
Hear it?
I hear it.
Yesterday’s voice.
We. All. Entering and exiting
as if forever is just for a while.
