what i call home
I’ve lived around the world.
In fact I moved when I was 18,
I left my home and found another,
But was that home?
Layered bricks and walls with posters,
soft warm bed and candles lit by it
to make it
home-y,
But was that home?
‘a house is not a home’
yet I still feel like I really miss
my house, where my mom and my cat
are waiting patien...

Recipe for Reflection
I made dinner at 10:30 tonight.
Fried Kielbasa, macaroni and cheese, cinnamon applesauce, and
buttermilk biscuits. It’s what I always eat when I’m missing home.

My Home
I was destined to meet you,
