Away, at home

    Maybe at that point when you return
    From the far-flung and the intensely different
    And intense
    Dreaming back on towels on wet floors
    In New York city bathrooms
    Cramped and dark
    Yet somehow retaining a right to cheery nostalgia

    Or thoughts from away on home
    Meditations on missing people, on missing you
    On appropriate gifts or smiling again
    Buying raspberry beer named for Hendrix
    And drinking it for you, to think of you
    The strangest of symbols tying you back
    To who and what you miss

    In that side dimension that imagines an emotional tie-up
    So bonded as to be unbreakable
    These things which we love to create and shape
    To help understand love
    To paint over the ugly parts of reality and humanity
    And insist then that love and beauty
    Can really be all that they can be
    Of primary importance
    And all that matters
    With my hands open, and my eyes
    Closed.

    The tone and flow of this one were a lot more powerful in my opinion. Also like the one-word closing line and subtle rhyming but not reliance on it. Well done :)
