Home

When you become
Beyond depleted
Make Cuban Style
Black beans and rice
Because they remind you
Of Lisa
Of Florida
Of home
Dig in the dirt
Surrounding your garden
With railroad treasures
And wait patiently
For it to bloom
Plant Marigolds
Bright as sunlight
In honor of your
First child
Born in October
Remembering
How tiny he was
Nestled
In your arms
As Richie Havens’
Voice swept
Through the theatre
With salvation and purpose
You wept at
“Here Comes the Sun”
And baptized him
With your tears
Remember
How music heals
And how you will
Always
Find your way home
No matter
How lost you become.
