at every other

at every other
corner of the
city, a
marker –
to remember,
to forget,
to leave forever,
to come back to

the day before the

prepare to leave home,

bellies and hearts filled with a

i am waiting on
the corner to becoming
immeasurable –

perhaps staying is as much
an addiction as leaving

there is a version

there is a version
of me who stays, i know it
by the way you speak

to me, in our secret language,
as if i had never left

once you have captured

once you have captured
the momentum to
leave, it’s
only a matter of
style, the degree of
openness,
and what you think
you have
left behind

that can cross
borders, permeate
time, saw you
in half so that
you don’t have to
decide

will lose alignment, unable
to synchronize our

flight patterns – you’ll take off first,
i’ll forget our chemistry

the part that stays bleeds
a little into the part
that leaves,
and vice versa –
we are carried in
each other’s
silhouette
until we meet again
