We carry our home,
our birthplace,
with us wherever
we go, carry it in
a little patch
inside our soul.

It stays fertilised
or brown but remains
in our journeys across time
and place in settlement
and restless heart,
through love and pain.

Till at last the patch is
laid down and finds its
rightful place in the
coming at the end of days,
