home again home again
not-so-lickety-split
three planes
three time zones
two layovers and
two travelers, patience worn threadbare
delays and mechanical issues
stomach pains and what-if-it's-lost luggage
we are ready to be home.
I have never been away from you
this long.
Not in our whole relationship.
I can feel my skin twitch with
the nearness of our reunion.
I stretch my legs in the spacious Ford Explorer
impatient to be stretched out next to you once more.
We pull back into the driveway,
I see you waiting on the porch
phone in hand.
My throat catches.
As soon as the car hits Park
I am out the door and across the yard and into your arms
like I never left.
I missed home.
