Home
Finally
My soul can breathe
Familiar, welcome
Expand my lungs
Tickle my nostrils
Climb up my throat
To sit on my tongue
I taste the counters
The drawers
The crisp smell hangs in the air
Reminds me
Like half-baked cookies seeping out of the oven
Relaxed muscles, awoken minds
How I connect answers
The meaning of life, of death
My home is my haven
My transport, my breath
To my words
My support
It's satisfying
Like dragging my bare feet
Across smooth tiled floors
Cool to the touch
Every brutal morning met with this night
Of open arms
Spiking nerves up my body
My calves
Calming goosbumps
Settling my day
Like a porch swings with the breeze
Or tap water heats
And makes me pause
under the sink
It fits me
Like the grooves in the wood
of the piano
They breathe with silent sound
Memories
As my finger strokes along the grain
Dusts the silky keys
I'll heave a sigh
Give back my air
Fill the room
Before inhaling again
Finally
I can breathe
