If you happen to find me,<\/p>\n
I’ll be crocheted in a blanket of red, white, and yellow,<\/p>\n
Woven in a basket of wicker,<\/p>\n
Amidst a pile of elephant figurines,<\/p>\n
That’s where you may find me.<\/p>\n
Scavenging through the things of the past,<\/p>\n
Looking for the things that made shit last,<\/p>\n
Made it surpass all the aftermath of eviction notices.<\/p>\n
A soul under siege,<\/p>\n
Sold to a storage locker,<\/p>\n
Floating the seven seas in bits and pieces,<\/p>\n
Wearing the world on her faces in wrinkles and creases.<\/p>\n
Suffering can be a beautiful things,<\/p>\n
What strength circumstance brings,<\/p>\n
Beauty: a thing called courage: a renaissance,<\/p>\n
Basking in the museum of memories,<\/p>\n
Reminiscing trinkets and treasures sold to the highest bidder,<\/p>\n
Home is where the heart finds it fit to survive such loss:<\/p>\n
At all of the greatest costs.<\/p>\n
Home: a no man’s land to me,<\/p>\n
Where roots have no foundation,<\/p>\n
And the foundation is made up of broken dreams.<\/p>\n
You may find me, you may lose me all the same,<\/p>\n
The price of home: an expensive, unattainable gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
