The protagonist wants to go back home to tend to his garden and take care of the birds in his attic. His lime tree is dead and he's sad about it, but he hopes he won't die soon. He talks about a trail in the back of his house that he needs to battle with time to clear, but he knows it will lead him back to where he started. He thinks home is wherever he and his partner are, as long as they have love.
