Home is a Smell

Home is a smell.

And every home scent is unique.

Some homes smell spicy.

Some smell sweet.

Some smell like a fresh load of laundry.

Some smell like weed.

Some homes smell like bleach.

Some smell like cat pee.

Some smell like cigarette smoke.

Some smell salty like the sea.

Some homes smell like coffee beans.

Some smell like vanilla ice cream.

Some smell like a Christmas day.

Some smell like a good dream.

Some homes smell of despair.

Some smell of hope.

Some smell expensive.

Some smell broke.

Some smell of fear.

Some smell of peace.

Everyone carries their home on their skin,

And most never know.

Home is a smell.

And every home scent is unique.

I'm still figuring out what scent is my home.

Will someone smell me, please?
