    I've come home
    having beaten
    horizons into hindsight
    to lay foot and payload
    upon the soil
    of a people
    long buried
    like their hopes
    of ever being
    burden free

    I am blood tied
    to the topography
    of this melancholy
    should I join these houses
    and their inhabitants
    in peeling paint
    and graying hair
    and loss of vital signs
    then all the miles
    that I have placed behind me
    would come to nothing

    would you have me
    still standing still
    still in the dream
    still like the background
    still like the blood
    that makes its way through you
    trapped in the gravity
    of whatever keeps you asleep

    I know the road
    that led me away
    is the same road
    that brought me back
    and I know the road.
    there is no going home
    to or from
    a stop along the way
    sometimes history repeats itself
    by not repeating itself
