Almost Home

Almost Home

written by: John Drudge

 

Returning
Under weightless skies
Along a swift line
With strident speed
Down the Boulevard Raspail
To the beat of Baudelaire
Beneath my feet
With nothing unsurpassable
Ahead
And the overpowering
Currents of the river
A distant memory
Behind
Far from ruthless
Indecision
And the arid landscapes
Of pale forgiving
Where reasons and roses
Never Bloom
Watching your shadow
Move
In the window
From the street
Knowing that time
Sometimes stills
For us
And that I am
Almost home
