North Carolina Approaches

North Carolina approaches
And I retreat
To my recognizable refuge
Marked by the stains of memories on the floor
And the broken shelves
Destroyed under the pressure of moving pictures
A closet I can finally walk into
And maybe, just maybe, get lost in
Never to be found
Never to be moved
Yes, I’ll stay
Because I’m not prepared to part
