Poems
Dec 2013
Home is where her heart rests
leaving town is leaving home
though I've only lived here
long enough to name a few streets
and memorize a handful of names
in three months time
a foreign city became
equally precious to me
as the place I was born
it's not the place
that cries out to me
not a feeling of belonging
that makes me sick to leave
it's the way you look
at me
i'm anxious to look away
from you
because you have become home to me.
