Moving Home
July 29, 2018
A new house and old friends
Both bigger than I’m used to and
Echoing with empty space that
I don’t know how to fill.
A new stamp of world experience.
An adventure that I’d like to forget
But return to even still
Slipping into watery nightmares
And the pull of distant laughter and
Distant terror, now
Of the space I’m too watery to fill.

@Bagel04 Thank you so much!
I'm returning to my true home, Colorado, after living for a year in California. This piece deals with the fear I have of having to reconstruct my identity.
