Only Home

July 13, 2022

This is neither

An arrival,

Nor a departure.

‍

This is not

An escape plan,

But the impossibility

Of escape.

‍

The prison cell

Was always

Empty,

With the door

Wide open.

‍

This is not

Another path.

There is no

Travelling

To get here,

And no here

To arrive at.

‍

This is not

A homecoming.

There is no

Coming home

To where it is

Impossibile

To leave.

‍

You weren't

Always at home,

There was never

Anyone to leave,

Or stay,

Or return.

‍

Just home.
