The Fabric of Nostalgia
The fabric of nostalgia
The ease of comfort blankets
Soothing memories of course
And the decisions to forget
Phantom threads of longing
Assembled at cross purposes
Stitching together thoughts
Welcome but fugitive visions
A quilted patchwork emerges
Shielding, lush but utilitarian
These woven cloths draped carelessly
We decipher meaning in their faint patterns
Odes to time lost, and homes too
Places, faces, tastes and touch
Graceful, the sensory elevation
Whither the veins of belonging
Nostalgia, a playlist
A soundtrack for this note (spotify version)
