For Tracey, 3

The Return

Sashaying home it is the sugar
from the homebrew that has filled you
up with glee, you think. It is glee

that will last you another twelve hours
but you don't know that yet, and test
each street for its home-feel, settling

on two before the numbers don't add up.
Your sashay has turned to sway before
you realise you are home, finally, and we

are waiting, so pleased to see you
smiling in a way that says it'll last.
