What can you call home?
A town with no airport, a moving ship, sailing the ocean,
Always outside, always passing through, always changing, pulling up anchor
What can you call forever?
A moment, a struggle, time standing still,
Forgetting and remembering there is a world outside
What can you call endurance?
A longing, an experience, waiting it out
Seeing where it leads instead of cutting it off
What can you call love?
A breath, an honesty, feeling in spite of fear,
Exploring how far those emotions go
What can you call secret?
A plastic bed, a strange new familiar place, sleeping chastely beside,
Thinking of love for a lover at home
What can you call regret?
An assumption, a disappointment, I thought I knew you
Paralyzed with shock finding I am there alone
What can you believe?
A story, a memory, you weren’t there,
I try to explain
What can you hear?
A hesitation, a silence, weighing your response
I wish I could see inside you
