‘home’

A house, to which one expects to return but does not, becomes a relic.

I stepped out the door one day for what I anticipated would be a moment and did not return for weeks. The impetus for the absence is a fascinating, devastating, poignant and somewhat tragic story, which I will not tell.
Upon my return I looked at my home as though it belonged to a stranger. I live a solitary existence so the things I had left , as I had left them, were all that would have remained to speak for me. I wondered what the individuals elected (or hired) to wipe it all away would have thought.
So I decided to let the rooms have their say.
My house is a work in progress. Tragedy in reverse. It had fallen apart before I bought it.
I am falling it back together.

not so rarely i have feeling that my own things around me (or my entire room) looks like belonging not to me. unfamiliar somehow. and then i see: i am not. (things like damn souvenirs of my imaginary fight in silence)

Your comment made it so emotional to me...*sighs*. It's a very strong image, exactly because it is layered with too much emotional pains...

If I may ask - did the falling back together work so far?

Your laughter weeps the truth.
Push me into the corner.
Confirming the epitaph of my soul
and displaying the once unknown Karma.

Falling back together is in progress.
I make a point of never seeing my work as painful.
Bittersweet on occasion, funny when no one else sees it that way, exculpatory at best and sometimes rather odd.
But I try to avoid immortalizing pain.
It doesn't deserve it.
