We leave pieces of our hearts
Wherever our souls find a home

Tangled in seaweed
Floating in the emerald waters
Of Sammamish Lake

Buried in the Snoqualmie mountains
In a wooden, old cabin
On a winding road through the forest

Powdered in the crevices
Of the tires of a red Honda civic
Slid in between the pages of a book
At King County Library

Folded amongst pale pink ginger slices
At Wasabi on 2nd Avenue
Packed away in the car trunk
Amongst paddleboards and sand umbrellas

The places we call home
Intertwine their energy with ours
And create memories
That can never be replicated.
