What do you think this poem is about?

Snap!

Far away from home
and she begins to think
home is not where the heart is

rather—
a state of mind, portable,
something she might put in her purse

like a compact—snap! and there it is—
neat, tidy—available.
Perhaps more—

perhaps—something which is both
reflective and intimate.
Home. Snap!

    Snap.....returning from where the heart missed beats
    to find yours still in touch.
