Miles and miles beneath the wheels,
\nwe made it back under a shining sun,
\nmostly – but buffeted by biting winds –
\nit didn’t even snow on us ’til Washington.<\/p>\n
And now home.
\nLike an ointment I wait for it to sink in,
\nto fill the vacancies and mend the lacerations,
\nto calm and to nourish and to fill –
\nI’ll overflow with everything that’s been lacking –
\nI’ll merge my Dionysus with my Apollo
\nand find peace in my passion and
\nslumber in my wine.<\/p>\n
As I sleep, dreams of assignments overdue,
\nassignments I’ve already done,
\nassignments who may only haunt me through ghosts.
\nI’ve overcome them all.<\/p>\n
Home.
\nI’ll never ride out, now,
\nwithout knowing when and how I’ll return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
