My home is my secret place
Where life unfolds anew
I generate my special plans
Within my heart holds true
My home is filled with laughter,
But sometimes the sorrows arise
So I hold on to all the joy within
To counter a painful demise
I think of all the wonderful things
In my dwelling that are great
And sometimes have to pinch myself
For my home I do appreciate.
Many times I awake in bed
With the covers pulled so tight
I’m nestled in my happy place
And oh Gosh, I’m feeling alright
My home has its many chapters
That I fulfill with each passing day
My home is filled with passion
So my home is where I’ll stay!!!

making space
Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.
