Where is Home? Aug 1, 2023

Gary Hunter

when you’ve lived a long life

where do you call “home”?


the last house you lived in

that condo by the beach you loved

the town where you grew up

your best friend’s house or backyard

the place where you were born


or this room in the assisted-living place?


seems we’ve all had to dig

ourselves up every time we moved

and the roots suffered till

replanted and grew again


and I think we’d also agree

home is a place where like

the tree that grows from the sweet

loop of sap we need the food of love


but at some point

many of us will sip soup

swallow apple sauce

and look out a single window


and I wonder then

how many will stare out

the glass and not remember

what the question was?
