I've been a long way
finally returning
to a place I remember
from a memory or a dream

In a different time
I would have been drifting
but this is now
that's all there is to it

I drag my feet in the road dust
it rises in cloud shapes
swirls around my ankles
like little tornados

I turn to see whats behind me
making sure that there's footprints
that there's some kind of trace
for somebody to find
