We know
that the sorrows
of this world
are round
as we circle mother’s
earth
like thoughts on a plane
waiting to land
in the rain
in the night
and then we arrive
at our destination
famished and holding
our cell phones to our ears
like everyone else
expecting to see someone
on the other end
of this journey
to the center
of our self-worth
and then we spot
a smile in the terminal
condition of being human
and soon we will be
at our home
away from being
so very alone
