I went home yesterday. And I learned there's no Home Left to come home to. There is no space for who I was. Sometimes a person's leaving allows for new life to grow. I don't trust this new home either. I can feel the mold under a new coat of paint. But perhaps I am jealous. Because my parents have each other. My siblings have parents. And I don't have Any Body. As a child I was better at spousing, mothering and daughtering. Today I am lost. Journeying perhaps. Becoming.

This Life
