NaPoWriMo Day 5 - Home


I own homes, way too many
To remember each one of their addresses
In their articulate spaces
And yet I know, every single nook
every single lane, every other crook
I run my fingers along their edges
Nourishing myself, pouring them into me
I learn, I breathe, I bloom
Cherishing every stay
I return in happiness and in gloom
They hold me, they cherish me
Make me feel one of them own
I am taken to travel, I am taken to meet
People so many
Humanity, human psyche
Black, white, grey and everything in between
Emotions, unnamed, understated, unknown
I have known from these
I live amidst all the books I have read
In their pages
Lurking between their spaces
They have my heart, they have my head
No matter what
I wouldn’t trade this home for anything ever instead
