Where am I
Been looking for a while
How can this be where?
How then could that have been why?
All past and future congregated only in my head
The vastness of this foreignness
A place of loose togetherness
The walls of life
So tightly wound
Days end and then begin
Begin and then End
Smell like nothing, feel like nothing
I ache for home
In whose air and soil
I have existed for generations before
The day broke without sun, again
Still, nothing needs my help,
The earth spins before me
I, an unnecessary figment of my own imagination
I long to set foot upon my dream
A shadowy dream, foggier every day
One without torment
Crystal clarity
No reptiles in trees
Words that I don’t understand
Those wordless worlds
But here in this whirlwind I exist
Only as the dark against which all the brightest lights shine
I ache for home.
I found this- she spoke about ‘an ache for home’ even as a place she never knew. I think I understand.
