and so i wept
tried to be patient in the dark
made small talk with the moon
made space for the stars
on the first night away
with so much time still to go
a million miles away from my home
then it was autumn
still i had fallen to my knees
layed patient on the ground,
pounding down the gasoline
and i had gone
and i was in between
afraid of all i was,
of all i could never be
how the hell could i have known
under the memories thinly worn
i was letting in
the worst of the storm
emerged into spring
found that i had grown new skin
had been hiding from myselff
found out where I had been
because my feet needed time to dig deep and strong and wide
my fingers could not find the space to grow
couldn’t have told you back last may,
that i’d be sitting here today
with my bags packed, the years up, i’m going home
and I live here
i made a little space for me
and all at once
am where i want to be
