We ended up going home.
Though we tried for a place
with more creature comforts,
the creature of us, it seems,
was most comforted by home

So we went there. As we go there
again tonight, yawning, the back seat
full of clean laundry, as we go there
continually on our life course,
our thoughts homing, our hearts
always setting that course.
We end up going home
iteratively, till we arrive.
