Un-home

 

Walls and a ceiling

currently make up my home.

But is it mine, I wonder?

The dirt, the chaos, the trash?

 

Because my home isn’t,

nor will it ever be,

just that:

mine.

 

I feel more at home

a thousand miles from home,

if that makes

any sense.

 

If not,

just close your eyes

and remember:

there’s no place like home,

but it’s up to you

to make it so.
