Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast. | |
On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost. | |
Take the crèche out and argue about who gets to set up the kings. | |
And I know that it’s home because that’s where the stereo sings “ | |
I’ve got dreams to remember.” | |
But not even home can be with you forever. | |
It’s Christmastime and the plane flies me over white hills to a town in a dream, where the sky is frozen and still, and a room (that’s not mine but it’s just like I left it before, with the wax from the candles all dusty and locks on the door) where | |
I held you so tenderly, and where in summer | |
I opened your letter to me. | |
I’m standing where we knelt and a miracle mile now borders it, but if | |
I turn my back and look at the field | |
I don’t even notice it for a second. | |
There’s a tangle of greenery where winter scenery ends. | |
And I hear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than friends - like if we stayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on sale, and how each | |
Christmastime would bring inlaws and snowdays and holiday mail. | |
Your dad says you’re living in | |
Georgia since last | |
September. | |
Well, “I’ve got dreams to remember.” | |
I’ve got dreams to remember. | |
Oh Sara, come back to | |
New Hampshire. | |
We’ll stay here fo |
