Homesick

by alyanne-cooper

Home is where the heart is. Home is where Taiwanese people Hock their wares at the top of their lungs As you're pressed on every side By the crush of people filling the lanes Of the night market. Home is where crazy San Franciscians Roam the hills in shorts with jackets in hand In case the fickle Weather changes his mind Or they wander too far west Into the land of perpetual fog and mist. Home is wherever you are. Or at least that's what home used to be. But since you've gone away, My heart is a thousand pieces. Home needs a whole heart. And mine isn't anymore. So every day I'm homesick For a place that will never be. Home is now just in my memories.
