Home Space


The fragility of the nest
is
the security of the nest.

We hanker for a home.

Not
the solidity,
the false security
of the sarcophagus.

A home to leave and return to.
To remain a home
when the wind blows it away.

Not
the permanence of the coffin.
Unleft and unimagined.
No holes to breathe through.

      It arrived as a gift too. From the nourishment born from the suckling on thoughtful dialogue.
