Homesick

[jdvanwijk]

Variation (3 lines, would this be considered a senryu?)

Afraid to go home:
back from work or war,
we slip, trip and fall.


Edit 1 (thanks justcloudy!)

I'm afraid to go home:
when we get back
from work or war,
we slip, trip and fall.


Original:

I'm afraid to go home:
it's when we get back
from work or war
that we slip, trip and fall.
