Childhood homes
Memories are carried
The starting line matters
Where you come from
Cannot be severed
Even when we leave in haste
Even when we are displaced
Even when we never go back
Even when we would prefer to stay
Still childhood places remain
In dreams in reality they shape
Distance does not diminish
Where life began
~ Camille
“Childhood homes” is a quiet truth about origin — a poem about the starting line, the places that hold us, and the way home remains in the body even when we leave.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece carries a tender permanence — a reminder that distance doesn’t diminish where life began, and childhood places continue to shape us in dreams and in waking life.
