home country

 my grandfather is buried in

TSA packaging

ready and waiting

(on paper and in person)

until my grandmother dies

perhaps the packaging

will be a different color

then

and they can be returned to

home country


I drive alone

wearing only clothes

that came without

packaging

south, mostly

until I reach

my home country

abbreviated, really

more of an acronym

than an origin

no one ever told me

what it stands for


stands, the forest

refuses to sit nicely

in a cardboard box

(understandable)

to be shipped somewhere

to bury me

wherever I die
