No Fixed Address
by lucy via gemma - Inverse Times Wednesday, Jun 27 2018, 9:03am
international / poetry / post

is how the regulatory ‘authorities’ list my abode,
which classification is quite correct
as in ‘my place’ hangs a shingle
‘home sweet home,’
what home?

surely not the homes with street addresses
fixed in locations with their benefits and problems,
no, my ‘sweet home’ is not so easily located by the mundane
yet i exist and have lived in my sweet abode free from all tribulations
as i have no way of entry or exit
my home has no doors, only windows

i have a favourite seat like most homes have
for their occupants, but it's not a chair or an
elevation from the ceiling/floor,
yes, my abode has neither ceiling nor floor
my seat is situated in the centre of Existence
which is my sweet home
to which i have happily returned
only to realise that i have never left,
how very sweet that is
