Perceiving Self at Home

The poem asks how the self consistently encounters and belongs to every place and moment. The speaker wonders what inner capacity allows them to be "at home" wherever they go, and what enables sensory resonance with forms, colors, textures, and smells. It’s a brief, reflective probe into identity as an open, responsive presence that corresponds with the external world rather than a fixed, isolated subject.
