Before it felt like home

It didn’t start as a place.
Just a structure.

Foam, metal, boards.
Temporary coverings where windows would be.

At that point,

This is one of them.

Inside,
something began to take shape.

Not complete.
Not even close.

Higher.
Prepared for something that wasn’t there yet.

But that’s a story for another time.
