Where Was I

Take me to that old familiar
Smell of summer bonfires by
The riverside, the drive to shorelines
Whipping wind and car keys on my thighs

Where was I while my life passed me by

February winter light
Aquatic songbirds fleeing from the same
Sweet New England, sound of
Snow and salt and cargo trains

Where was I while my life passed me by

The family dog is getting older
Siblings move across state lines
Memories become so faded
I'm terrified by what I've left behind

Where was I while my life passed me by

Home becomes a word that I can't use because it moves so fast
Leaking through my weathered hands that tightly tether to the past
Ahhh

Two months and a week and now
Where was I
