Strays

Time is a stream
you step into once
you run out of other options 

A house is a metaphor
for what you want 
to take place inside the house 

Things happen 
the way they always have 
then they happen again 

Some are missing 
you remember them more 
when you miss them 

Mouth makes language 
out of another 
mouth’s reaction to it

Return is incomplete 
when you begin
where you started
