Saints and Strangers
share the space under my skin
in my blood, my history
Pilgrims and adventurers
who stayed in the land
never went west young men
but found New England,
Massachusetts
home; in Plymouth to Westfield
twelve generations of us
finally to my home
in New Hampshire
their blood still in my veins
in me, at home
in New England
