Home was far
it was with the earlier memories
and moments long gone;
home was the scents and smells
now vaguely traced in the atmosphere
it was the tastes and touches of the skin
survived by the flesh underneath;
home was to be basking in the sun
with eyes casually closed
it was the trust of letting go
and letting fall;
home was the empty bars post-midnight
populated by the smoke of cheap cigars
talks and words
momentarily tangible, then immaterial;
home became a place in-between space
just enough
and no more.
