Kindling a weary flame

In the pit of my stomach

For the voyage across,

Reeling backwards through time

–

On the back of a wave

To a cluster of light,

Quieting the stars

With its siren song

–

Here I’ll wear out my welcome

Here I’ll overindulge,

Beached and oversweet

Rooted firm in the soil  

–

Here I’ll be reignited  

Flaring luminous and large  

For my homeward haul

To the motionless dusk
