If you can't call it home
close your eyes and ask yourself why.
When the answer is silence ----
let it wash over you like clean bed sheets.
Wrap yourself in the empty and call it departure.
If departure fits around the space between your bodies
do not speak.
Stare at your shoe laces like
you are solving a math equation
and the answer will be the right thing to say.
When you realize the right thing to say
is an imaginary line written into Disney films,
look up ------- acknowledge the dust on your tongue,
check your itinerary for somewhere
you can be two hours early.
When the door no longer lets outside ------
inside,
mourn the end
mourn the starting over.
When the engine turns
and asks your why -------
call it purging.
When you stop talking to yourself
find the next place to fill your stomach
and fill your stomach with you.
