The Way Home (from the Bad Weather series)


The Way Home

I broke free from the stifling room of national pride
and ran ran ran even with my heavy burden
just for the hell damned sake of it.

He waited for my spread-winged freedom
and for once I didn't blame him
for my headsplit troubles.

I have cleaned the bitterness from my heart
and left it in an alien land
and now all we do is count the steps to home.

We crawl for home
or at least the last place we called it.
