Homesick by Kimberly Coverly
I asked myself,
How do I convince her to let me come home?
Do I write a long email or pick up the phone?
I have not told her how I feel,
Do I explain it calmly or with emotion?
Will she let me come home to that town on the ocean?
I can see her now,
Will laughter or tears ensue?
Should I explain that this is long overdue?
Yet I don’t know,
Do I want to come home at all?
Or am I happy here where they have seasons like Fall?
Pull it together, only five weeks left.
How much longer can I keep wound tight?
One day I will burst, and see the bright light.

I asked myself
What, Sappho, can
you give one who
has everything,
like Aphrodite?
