Places Not Gone

Work and appreciation
shake hands not heads
for the good thing going
is a food for heart
an ache for the sufferer
whose pain demands 
to feel it when it hurts.

Back in the town that 
is finally home and now
it's time to leave, but I
will stay in bark town,
call out and back and
every other preposition
so that these houses and
people will know that 
I remember.
