homing

I leave the indentation of my head on your pillow,
and walk out of that door
you wake up to find me gone
but I am there in the folds of your skin,
stray hair on your shoulder.

"when my feet walk to the bamboo fields
you will find me there and get me home"

  4. I can't decide if it's a case of "I'll never wash this hand again" or "I need a shower." It's the hair on the shoulder thing.
