comforter for simple rural children,
jailer, slaughterer of dreams
delightful intoxicator of brittle bones
and a gem in the crown of our nation
colonial, thriving, humble
city of thriving remnants
they lute you are tranquil, luring artists from miles away for their muse to
breathe again; i have pulsed through your history.
they weep to me about your winters, the slush erasing the verdigris landscape,
and shamefully i agree.
and they tell me you are foul, reeking, and i believe this; the streets are
littered with promiscuity and filth beneath my worn soul.
answer me this, naysayers: has ever there been a city so
decrepit yet magnificently simple?
show me an imitation with such welcoming arms despite hardships
and innumerable tragedies

this has been in my stash for a while. i helped ave-dottore write a poem for school, and this was the result. the goal of the assignment was to describe her hometown. we live in a township, technically, but our mailing address is right next door, so we used that.

Home means so many things to different people. For me, it's definitely a bundle of contradictions, based on where I grew up and how I did with my family. But, now having moved away, I can appreciate it much more. I'm glad to just have a home to go back to, even if the winters are just like you describe so aptly.
