25 months at 946
egg shell beige walls, the red trim and turquoise doors we painted ourselves
wooden floors that never seemed clean enough
the occasional whiff of cat pee
"Goddamn it Ritchie!" on the other side of the wall
that was the home i loved and missed
3 months at 1345
the tiny counters, linoleum floors and cabinets that are made for my 6'5 lover
the bathroom not big enough for the litter box
and the heat that does not seem to work
the kids who climb up the side of the building to peek in my window
the teens who creep onto my porch to smoke grass
this is not my home
it feels like i never really unpacked
yet here i am packing it all up
265
my future home
new borough
new life
cozy couch
i think i'll like it here
