Hometown
I left my heart
where the sea succumbs to the Pacific
where I buried an old stick with names
and asked a sign of what we will become
I left my heart
where locals claimed Magellan first landed
where I danced in the middle of the night
with the glow of the moon and the fireflies
I left my heart
where other roads lead to majestic caves
where I first heard of shamans and unicorns
yet I’ve never seen one; only felt them
I left my heart
where streets are empty by 8 pm
where I bathed in public with my clothes on
while people pass by with their cows and cars
I left my heart
where house are far yet people are close
where I met my muse and my crazy friends
whose hearts await for our homecoming
