The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

Settling

While never my intent to rove
not even for a treasure trove
I came at last to settle down
in one of many a faceless town.

It being not the salient point
the aspect of the chosen joint
it’s more a matter of journey’s end
and lack of wanderlust to spend.
