A Hobo's Last Prayer

Kurt Philip Behm

Hitchhiking along a highway

that runs inside my mind

 

Revisiting the roads I’d crossed

while skirting all the lines

 

My thumb held high and searching

for what eyes no longer see

 

Along this path that takes me home

—returning unto thee

    Very rich imagery, a little elusive, yet clear. I had to go back to the title. I enjoy how the title enriches the poem. I found myself wondering if the speaker would catch that last ride "home."

    Home is always there for us all.
