about

I swore that the last time I wrote about leaving
would be the last time I wrote about leaving.
Leaving follows me around.
Leaving finds itself in my book.
“I am not done writing about leaving,”
I write in yet another poem.
Am I leaving leaving?
When will leaving leave me?

When faced with the question “who do you know here”
in the midst of a deteriorating sense of place,
I force my belonging with my answer:
“I don’t know anyone here.”
What’s your name again?
CAN YOU SAY MINE?
