Keir

a snowy landscape with trees and a fence

Keir

n.
an ill-fated attempt to reenact a beloved memory years later, returning to a place that once felt like home, only to find it now feels uncannily off, like walking through a wax museum of your own childhood.

Dutch kier, fissure or narrow opening, as in the midpoint of an hourglass. Pronounced “keer.”
