A trip home…
but where is home?

Where I played as a child,
building forts from boxes,
wooden cars with buggy wheels?

A room with albums strewn on the floor
and long talks about music?

The house with a boat in the driveway and
a chip in the bathtub
from a three-year-old, a hammer and
the desire to help with home repair?

Maybe it’s a time spanning
nearly six decades,
before my life took an entirely new direction.

Those are trips back,
back to times and places,
back to people I treasure
and once treasured.

Here.
My home is here.
