parking lots lit with cigar orange lamps
shrubbery imitating the ocean's waves;
        I can watch the world burn away
               from my apartment window,
                    dusty on the inside,
                  grimy on the outside -
it reminds me that we all need a certain kind of home
where the wind howls through the door jam
   and the garage creaks when we open it
          and even the lightest footstep
                   echoes in the halls -
we need a certain kind of place to call home
so we can realize that there are certain people
                   to call home as well.

I imagine that the rain has just stopped, or was about to begin. I'd want to rest my chin on my folded arms, waiting for someone to return...

wishing that my tongue wouldn't stick to the roof of my mouth, dried out from the half open-mouthed and silent sobbing.

I liked the Orange glow best.

I'm sorry if I pulled the wrong feeling out of this. I'll read it again maybe :)
