home is

home is / a slow morning / your favorite album from last year / a shelf for my books / fresh mint tea / hearing the waves crash / a remembrance / seeing my postcards in the windowsill / a creak on the fourth stair step / two ripe pears / a dance-floor / not needing to explain / intimate / a handwritten note / the second turn left / remembering how it used to look like / the smell of cinnamon
