homesick

lonely
wo (third tone)
hen (second)
xiang (third)
I miss I miss
De duo!
wo miss bijiao so much
my jia my home
my friends peng you
safe spaces
and I truthfully shuo
speak
I miss speaking
even in English I can’t convey
wo de xin
wo de
heart
my heart
well,
what of my xin?
can’t shuo it
cut off and
yuan far yuan far yuan yuan yuan
from
warm waters
tired of navigating through
turbulence and rocks
Dad baba
I know you are my boat
but how nan! how hard
when you take away what I think
I need most
to find I never needed anything at all
but you
because
if you be with me
i am jia

i am home.
