home?

I had one once.

I remember
when I was too young
not to take it for granted.
I remember when
every night, I fell asleep
in the same bed.

home.

a place I could
navigate in the dark.

I knew it so well.
I loved it so much.

home?

that's a place where
you feel safe
and sometimes happy.
I had one once.
I still remember.

I'll never forget
the walls,
the lightswitches, the windows

the trees in the yard
the smell, the sound.
the radio on in the evening,
the television on at night.

the love and security.

the tension. the arguments.

more than anything -
its sheer dependabilty
to always be there.

but where has it gone?

[I am]really sick.
