Homesick

Anna Jackson


Wheeling the supermarket trolley around
like the bones of my dreams
I'm not inclined to stop and talk
about your winning son.
I always preferred your whining daughter
tugging at your hand and wanting
only to go home, not
that she'll be content to get there.
Home is no home some learn
sooner than others.
