Home
The sound of tears
Sliding down a cheek.
The clench of a sob
Knotting a belly.
The smell of fear
Holding back
A river of grief.
The caress of
A sympathetic smile
Holding out
The promise of
Intimacy.
The touch of
A real friend
Lifting hopelessness
Up off the sidewalk.
Shared vulnerability
Always brings us
Home.
