I go home to heal.
I prepare to leave home to head home to heal.
Which is to say I am always healing.
I drift between places I am hesitant to call mine
and spaces that embrace me with strength.
I have to heal from saying goodbye to home.
I have to heal from saying goodbye to my people.
Which is to say I am always in need of healing.
Walking away from love
into love
and remembering that it is all love.
