beneath the eyesight and in a corner in home long forgotten

i would not say that she wanders

she is worth enough despite the guarantee for payoff

she stays where it is warmer

whether it be her mind or the draft in the corner

and she will forgive, since forgiveness lives infinitely inside her

no regret

as the shadows cross her familiar face

and how we forget

in shadow frame the time away

and try to recognize the day

light breaks through the window

home can be so little

bits and pieces of the string

tied by the knots of fingers

holding on to something
