home

the second you
drive away from home, you see
how small
your world is.
your circle of travel.
what's safe
is what you know, the roads
well
worn by your
own shoes.
your eyes open
as you go further and further
into the unknown.
even the clouds
look different,
your pulse quickens,
but over time,
travel weary,
you want nothing more,
or newer than the comforts
of home.
