Home

A daydream craves a place to be rooted
while trailing along in the endless wind.
alone, never alone
I roll the dice one last time
spinning unwritten adventures and airport codes together

In an unmarked envelope waits
a promise without pretense
its cryptic broken sentences
build a dotted outline for a foundation:
steps of restlessness cemented with
heartsickness.
It waits for an achievement completed
searches for stitches of redemption
to create meaning in midair.
I am watching next to the almond tree
waiting in stillness,
knowing time breathes patience on me
