genome home zone (Free verse) by sarah
i want to remember
i want to whisper
i know exactly what my dreams behold
i know the path is nearly ready
yet i am afraid
the human genome must have some little zone
i suppose you might call it the i don't want to leave home part of the
genome
... even if home is an emotional, miserly, miserable place
this genome pulls and tugs the heart with the want for a familar face
my dignity is drained
i have been down
yet kinetic in essence
like a cocoon
afraid to leave these same
-wandering-
...rooms...
i'll do it soon
