Shoved to Them
My husband’s job hunt
full of possibilities
anxiety, hope
Will we move or stay?
Should I clean the closets out
and get set to pack?
Lone Star State or here
those seem to be our choices
no contest for me
I yearn to be home
prickly pear and mesquite trees
coyotes, jack rabbits
Flat land stretching out
San Antonio, Austin
surely one of these
Bow your head and pray
That one little Texas girl
can find her way home
