GARFIELD
and after cleaning the mucus off the walls
cleaning the fallen leaves from the closet
dusting baseboards and throwing away the rot in the fridge

I figured I’d find “my home” again.

Instead, I find new smells, better lighting, less clutter, more calm.
the person I was before the leeches stuck to these walls
is not the same person I am once I finally burned them off

that feels good.
