Home again

Written by Diana Oproescu

File Josh Medicoff

I once wished
to soak the walls of my home
in something resembling acid
or anything to erase
all the traces of those who have come
unwelcomed,
but then I remembered that my home
regenerates itself
every seven years
and with that,
the pain that has swelled over time
flushes out of my body —

I can settle in again.
