Home

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
