H-o-m-e
At nineteen
I wanted to live in Colorado
Till that first weekend I spent
in Cheyenne
At twenty-five
I wanted to live in Montana
Leaving Yellowstone
as Glacier took my hand
At thirty
I wanted to live in Alaska
Within Denali
where the Kodiaks roam
But as the years have progressed
I discovered
All I ever wanted to be
—was home
