Everyone’s home is different, the map-reading a separate event, each series of directions special to who we are, what we do, where we live. Difficult to describe but everyone knows where their own home is …
WHERE HOME IS
smell of plums and books 
by a cedar chair
windows open to crow calls
a child’s voice
the road bends
around neighbour’s cat
a map shows where hawk lies
on blue above rising green
strangers can’t find their way
past the post office
