to the nines, tens and elevens
like somehow dressing better
will get you into heaven,
and I am no different.
I wear your hat
that's too small
that you snatched
from a Saks box
left at your door
and something black
to hide the fat rolls.
I haven't been seen
here before,
or in a long time.
Not since you left.
I've tried to come
and say my peace
but I've not made it yet.
I can't.
Maybe this time
will be different.
No judgment,
no questions.
Just love
and acceptance.
Isn't that how
it's supposed to be?
I bow my head
and let myself
hope -
maybe this time
I will come home.
