Finally Found Home Janet Kuypers 4/12/23 (referencing the poem “ Seven and Seven, plus Eighteen”) We were outside at night in Fair Hope Under an intricate quilt of stars in the sky Lying on the grass, stars blanketing us Resting my head on your shoulder Feeling I finally found home You signaled in silence as a leg-length away A deer walked by, unnoticing, unconcerned— Then saw me, stopped... and sprinted away Was it fear they felt— For I fear they feel it from me, and Never were they more safe Because looking back, all I could think was Why does a perfect moment have to end
