The extremities of ambivalence

Nostalgic for nothing definite.
More like a feeling, or a version of me I'll never be again
and yet always am.

Moments slip away and return in unexpected bursts
of memory that leave me breathless.

There is a universe inside of me,
and it is my own. 
I fight to let it out
while I reinforce its walls with whispers and rage

This is private

Beware of hungry hounds
and misappropriated affection
and remove your shoes and inhibitions
before entering.

This is a warning, this is a welcome
this is home.
