In a Place Called Home
In a place called home, there are no door knobs. Only doors with holes and one takes the risk of being splintered.
In a place called home, there are spaces wanting to be filled: on the couch, on chairs around the dining table, in the shower, on a bed, and under a pillow
is a notebook. Because a place called home feeds itself with secrets - the vintage wine must keep on flowing in a pyramid of dainty glasses.
In a place called home, there is always someone who gets tired of calling it home, of filling its spaces, of watching wine glasses break.
In a place called home, there are no door knobs. Only doors with holes and one takes the risk of being splintered.
