Astray

 Knowing what I want now is knowing

the things I have and do not want,

with a homesickness that makes

it impossible to be home.

I'm longing for a place

that feels like me

that is anywhere else I could

happen to be.

Restless in my exhaustion,

I yearn to find

energy in the idols

I burn

with the glee of an arsonist

on Bonfire Night

where my wrong longing

suddenly seems

right.
