∴

there is a home in me
and if you’re looking for the key
start with simple love songs, please.

they’d be sung with the eye
and delivered to my ear
gently,
at the palm of your hand.

i am no puzzle
i am no maze
i unlock and unhinge
at honest gaze

when we look to see

see what we are
see what we’re not
see all that we have
when we set aside want.

see the blemish
see the scar
see the beauty
that is who we are

this is a home
that cannot be owned
this is a wealth
that cannot be loaned

just see me
as i see you
without the works
or the things we do

and let us sing love songs
to open the other

let us wait at locked doors
and know
there is a home in there

and the key

the key

is sweet

and

simple.

∴
