Coming Home
Virginia Salter

Could my own cooking
have been this fine before?
Was the grass ever
this green?
Did the cats
ever want to cuddle so?
And my bed,
did it ever gently hold me
in quite this ecstasy?
My rut, was it ever
such a comfortable,
predictable routine?
Could “Home Sweet Home”
have been
this succulent?
Traveling
now seems
to be a dream
until the photos
hit the scene
to prove that I really did
all those things
in those far away places.
