I  want the in-betweens

the messy

the chaotic

the you are my home

my safe space.

Not

 a weekend retreat

not a month long getaway

not my baggages are way

too much and

occupy too much space

in your already cramped existence

I want the in-between

schedules

the last seats for two ride

I want the real

the raw

not the pseudo .

I  need the vulnerable

I  dont want the motel

or five stars

check-in / checkout attitude

Not

the facade

not the thrills

not the backgrounds for show

I  want the real

the raw

I  dont want to be a tourist

in your life

thats seasonal

maybes

I  want the resident’s package:

you, me

all the in- betweens

I  want Home.
