The Nomad Returns Home: кочевник

Возвращение в Москву

кочевник
Nomad

when did you get home?
and did the ocean roar?

did you see your pals again
at the Georgian shore?

did you look into a store,
did you hold your child high?

and why was he a kid again,
and why was I a sigh?

i have already been there...
i shall not go again.
go and find your future
and sometimes i will send

an email of christmas time,
easter email too,
picnics, woods, and running twain
for life will ne'er run true...

a reprint.
For some reason, I love this poem. And the nomad is returning home this week.
Originally written about the Caucasus,  but it was all a dream... I think.
