amenity

You are all of the underlined passages,

in the only book
I’ve re-read a million times.

My favorite CDs 
that I still listen to


even when they’re out of style.


You are the worn sweater

that I keep pulling on,
 

even though it’s fraying beyond repair.


I keep coming back to you

because you are safe.


You are the comfort,
I never even found at home.
