'Home' Poem by Marty McKenna

'Home'

it's different on the way home,
you're there, i imagine; space
to exhale from the mistakes

of the day. the diary
talks a good home but has become
increasingly disillusioned.

it's different, this home
i carry around in my shirt pocket;
i hold you like a photograph,

as close as the gutter to the stars.


‘home'

first published in 'poem alone'
appears in the chapbook 'sleeve notes'
