Coming home has always been the endless view of trees beneath the orange fielded background in full bloom.
A single rose, a scarlet hope, a tempest in recalling, a lonesome bonfire reflected on the leaves.
Coming home has always felt like drifting: pulled with the current, pulled with the burdened.
It has always been like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, thinking there is one more step than there is and crumbling.
I am crumbling, set adrift.
And in this one moment of dark surprise
as I try and readjust the way I thought of life,
I am crumbling, set adrift.
I should know who I am by now, I should know who I am.
