On Returning ~


And on returning
even the streets know
you were born here
and speak
when you walk them,
watching for sidewalk flaws,
cracks and swellings
where napping childhood
hides waiting.

And, after all the years
people on the porches
greet you and wave
to show they know,
at a glance,
who is one of theirs.
