Love
Connection
Support, community
Parents, brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents
Home
When it all works
And then
Vocation, relocation, isolation
Alone, unknown in a strange town
The whole wide world
Strangers, business associates
Stabs at connection
Church, gyms, bars, gangs, the streets
Alcohol and drugs and one-night stands
Unaware
Screams at connection
And then
Incredibly good fortune,
or Providence
“O Lord thou pluckest me out”
Intimacy, soulmate, conjunction
Love
Mutual
Family again
Support
Connection
Home
After so much
A friend to the whole wide world
