Moving Home
A new house and old friends
Both bigger than I’m used to and
Echoing with empty space that
I don’t know how to fill.
A new stamp of world experience.
An adventure that I’d like to forget
But return to even still
Slipping into watery nightmares
And the pull of distant laughter and
Distant terror, now
Of the space I’m too watery to fill.
