Our First Home
The first tree, the first address, and one line underneath that says both.
The first tree, the first address, and one line underneath that says both.
The first tree, and the first address worth putting on something.
The photo she would have picked herself, and the line you have never quite said out loud.
The book was the same every time and she never once sounded bored.
Same tradition, new memories, same two people.
You did not grow here. You still ended up home.
For the stocking that gets asked about before the tree does.
For the name that gets its own hook on the mantel.
The one stocking that makes the whole mantel look deliberate.
Two routes, one hallway, and nobody checked the schedule.
The address changes. The line does not.
You did not rescue him. He picked you and moved in.
Everything in this house started as something she planted.
For her, because home stopped being a place a while ago.
The photo she would have picked, and the line that finally says it out loud.
