I was once young and had a home

Before I could recall a decade I had a place:
front door, back door- TV room
It was where my parents were;
where my stuff was.

It never occured to me it would go away
Or maybe it didn't
I moved away, and lost it by leaving it behind

You only leave one childhood home
Every house after that is an echo
watered down aftershocks
Poor imitations of the last safe place you had.

E2 Quest: More Than Walls	It's important for me to remember these things	strippers with supportive parents	You asked me once what I would remember... this, and much more
Children of Men	Waiting is the only part	A dead bird and a drunken father	Another pack of charming young boys
Once I hit my best friend with a hammer	Yellow tells the story of time gone by	Yes, I am helloing into a box. There is an echo.	When I was young
river, in all his innocent beauty and home in hers	Young people: Living at home longer	My Childhood Home I See Again	I once was a clueless young noder
Nostalgic for a time that I never experienced and for a person I never was	Dialogue between a Priest and a Dying Man	The First of May	The only place I ever go is the grocery store.
Sanctuary	Unicode Middle Eastern Scripts	Childhood	You cherish this box because it once held your dreams
