you’ll cross the bridge
when you get there
meet that new city
like getting to know
a new friend or lover
grab its trendy deli  
a new taste
or quencher of thirst
wander through
its long roads
memorize its ends and curves
say your first hi’s and hello’s
leave footprints
on its heart
but wherever your feet
tell you to go that far
i hope your mind and soul
remind you that
with me
it’s always home
