River foam at the edges and drown in habit, 

the folklore under the moon promises

secrets from childhood wounds.

Disclosed in books, treasure hunts, birds croon and 

walking home ordains the wanderer’s no self, no you.

Walking home ordains the wanderer’s no self, no you.

The rain fell through October, 

shuddered on the front step;

beckoning for shelter and creative sabbatical. 

A fleece vest and the same corduroy jacket

that was my mother’s, and my mother’s father’s, 

a homecoming I seldom know, 

but when I do, I know it well.
