Coming Back Home

Curtis was never one to stay in one place for very long

Oh my God they said when they looked at his passport

Multiple entries border crossings migration and search of 

Inner Self and ironically a fix point in his travelling mind

No go zone was merely an encouragement to defy advice

Grand locations unexposed jewels magical treasure islands

Baking in the sun basking in downpour and floating on joy

Another journey one more rite of passage before settling

Coming home to hidden places he had never been before

Kaleidoscopes Katzenjammer Kettledrums Knowledge

Hitherto homeless he gallivanted to more distant shore-lines

On full steam of restlessness experiences and adventures 

Minded his voyage but remained a foreigner nevertheless

Eventually he ran out of escape routes and returned home
