Homecoming

i left
with ridding
my house
of mice

yes
i killed
them

i went
to a place
of a gecko
chirping

his song
i fell to
sleep by

back i came
but nuts a
squirrel in
the wall

on the roof
tomorrow
perhaps

i'll lift 
my arms
and reach
for the sky

hoping 
as i always
wanted to be

a
bird
and 
fly

away

As of now you are up to 17. I guess a few people have woken up.
