Locker
i have been thinking about home
a locker room, really
for our belongings
an address
for which to use for identification
walls to get comfortable between
but
i have begun to
construct homes
from anonymous rooms –
nests
i fill
with books i purchased second hand
and sachets of ketchup
i didn’t need in the cafe
for the now cold rice i didn’t
eat in the restaurant
from places and people
small talk
and conversation.

I love this! The structure, the wording, everything!
