A Strange Kitchen

you’ve only seen it in your dreams…

…and your nightmares.

familiar + colorful, it lures you in, but something just…

doesn’t feel right.

you don’t know whether to dance, make coffee, cook a feast,

or curl up in the corner crying.

uneasy and abandoned, but so familiar…like, you grew up there.

right There.

that’s where you hid — in that cabinet.

that’s where you cried.

that’s where mom cried.

that’s the door where things happened

and there is the closet where you hid. again.

don’t pretend you don’t get

excited just thinking about it.

they all said you had a wild imagination,

you imagined it all.
