I took a plane back home

Watching hills curve into winding roads

Twisting into old moments

Of a life turned to memory

A whole coast away from the only thing I used to know

My heart

Charred by the agony of what I have come to learn is love

A man sat near me on the plane

Close enough?

The wrinkles on his face

Suffering and joy

A reiteration–

Deep lines carrying memories

Through your body

Like the ridges in the mountains

The weight is all the same

Safety//Sacrifice//Laughter//Loss
