The Way Home

Pack your bags
and stare at the color
of your shutters
one last time.
Count how many left turns
exist on the trip
to the airport.
Commit as many images
of homes and businesses
from the drive
to your memory,
struggle to imprint
the street signs.
Cross off names
on your checklist
to tell goodbye.
Buckle your seatbelt
on the airplane,
stare out the little square window
at the tiny cars and fields.
Wonder if you are making
the right decision.
I hope you find home.
