Minnesota Migration

As much as I like it here- I think I need to leave.

I’ll surely come back, at least once or twice.

But my family is no longer grounded here-

Its roots remain, though the tree has been cut.

I need to seek out some big someplace-

And let my art flow throughout a humongous world-

I will, in time, creep back into this simple land.

But I am not a sedentary beast- I shan’t allow that.
