Home Town Elegy
The ruined places of my heart’s adorning self,
The garages and job centres and shops
Where England’s whore-ish self has come
To flaunt and shift its bustle in the streets,
Once housed my own body, and almost homed my heart.

Commenting Preference:
The author encourages honest critique.
There tends to be little ambivalence toward home towns. Some vow to never return. You capture the dislocation of emotions well.
