she keeps saying it
week after week
like a chant
a religious ceremony
kicking her heels
perhaps
thinking there is no
place like home
though none can go
back
the way Dorothy did
no wizard’s balloon
can fly her through time
and restore all
the black and white of it
the Innocence lost
and restored
after the tornado
why does she say it
does she believe she can remain in Oz
or does she believe
she is trapped there
nor good or even bad witches
to whisk her away
only the place where
she's landed
and must accept
a good witch would tell her
this is not the end
only the beginning
