Andrea Defoe


notes on Homecoming

This is how the dead season breathes, how the cold of winter seems to fuel itself off animal heat. Or maybe it's about the sadness a house feels in the absence of its people. Quite possibly, the writer has forgotten what she intended and can now attest only to the fact that the poem once belonged to her, before she turned it over to its reader.
