Where is home?

Is it the place I was born,

or the place I embraced,

or the place that embraced me?

Is it found in the people I share blood with,

or those I chose as company?

Is it a feeling?

A space?

A state?

I don’t know.

Must I build roots in one place,

or in the hearts of many?

After all,

their hugs have meant more to me

than the soil ever did.

The soil that raised me cannot be erased
