Poem a day for 8 April 2015: (W)here?

This started out as a little riff on that old saying 'Home is where the heart is'. A change of letter in one word and it all veered off, then circled back unexpectedly.


(W)here?

'Home is where the heart is', so my heart is here at home.
Or home is wherever my heart happens to be.
Where my head happens to be.
Home is where the head is?
In my house?
Home is where the house is?
Home is where the horse is?
Homer is the horse?
Homer IS the horse.
A horse named after a poet.
Horse is where the poetry is
where the trough is
where the water is.
Water is where the drinking is.
Drinking is where the wine is
where the mind is
where the fun is.
Fun is where the laughter is
where the life is
where the friends are.
Friends are where the love is.
Love is where you are.
Love is … here you are.
