The cabbage moths in my garden. The splash of bird shit on my windscreen. The quick snack of sakatas and cheese when I come home from work, before I walk the dog. The sun bleached peg and some dried up weeds I pulled out from the backyard. The mid-week dinner of steamed dumplings from the freezer. The bread tags that gather on my kitchen bench and sometimes fall on the floor. The fucking flies everywhere. All these things taste like home.
