That is absolutely beautiful. Perfect for this Sunday afternoon. It’s odd, though, it didn’t go where I was expecting, and I like that.

When I first started reading, I thought you were describing a migrant or someone being forced to leave their home. Which, now I think about it, isn’t all that far from what it is.

whoa. thank you for sharing your perspective, Rachel. I wrote the poem for a very specific chapter of my life, but I can feel from your note how it might also resonate with different walks of life. this is my first time sharing my poem with the world, and it means a lot. thank you :)
