to come home
and fail
try again
fail again
a body wonders
as does the mind
wander

where the heart is
each foot
falls
for the road
to swallow

traveled
without purpose
or resistance
an ancient surface
remembers

paved with diamonds
and the gold of fools
it buckles
beneath the waves
where angels
and the gods themselves
tread lightly

we’ve already tried

home
is never going to be
a place to hide
alone
until the parting sea
abides

as will the sorrow
