Tag: childhood memories

The house greets us with fragrant smells
of citrus tarts, homemade lemonade, 
and images of a long, familiar kitchen we love.

Stepping into the home from our childhood 
we each process the way we feel
about the good and the bad memories made.

A nostalgia for idealised memories saturates 
the memories we wish to deny
as Mum brings the teapot to the old cedar table.
