Not Yet a Home (2013)

This house still feels—like a place I am,Rather than a place I live. What without those memories of you blowing me on the staircase,Or that time another you snuck in the window,That time we heard the owl under the cover of covers,Or that stupid spaghetti dinner I insisted on making you,The time you called me …

Not really a love poem; I just really like blankets. (2013)
