Empty water bottles sit on my nightstand,
\nhaving chugged them last night to hit my gallon-a-day mark.
\nA vine of purple flowers, ten years old, finally hangs above my bedroom door,
\na thin canopy of color against the white walls.
\nA salt lamp and moon vase diffuser inactive on the table beside my bed,
\nsurrounded by reminders of my life in New York City.
\nI can still smell the lavender that always travels with me.
\nSitting on my bed, a cloud in my room,
\nthe first bed I’ve ever owned.
\nRolled it out of a box and watched it rise.
\nPurple, grey, and green fill my space,
\nthe only space I have.
\nBut it is not home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
