Homecoming II

shouldn't have been grateful for a hurricane
but it brought me home to you
four days early
took me ten hours instead of four
to get from Nederland to Corinth
but all I could do was sit in my car
and beam
dreaming of you as Johnny Cash sang
"I Walk the Line"
(you remind me of Cash, so rugged and tough)
singing along with Patsy Cline
to "You Belong To Me"
free again to say bye bye to the blue skies
of Texas my Texas
I flew home to you again
manic and frantic
Where Are The Goddamn Sandias, Already?!!
and you saw me
and said There's My Girl
and you held me
and jealous fucks on their smoke break stared
and we didn't care
just floored it
made it home just in time
to say hello
where the fuck have you been?
in that most primal and poetic
of ways...
