Ancestral Homes

We should leave ancestral homes
where we learned to walk.
And I could see myself in the past
as a ghost.

Last day, I saw myself doing homework
from my school days.
Before that, one week back,
I saw myself at the dining table
with a wound from a kitchen knife.

The shadows of the past
follow as ghosts in ancestral homes,
so we have to leave them.

It is hard to distinguish shadows from reality,
and painful too.
