I watched myself fall long after I thought I had caught myself.

I packed my love and a boarding pass, and left us out of my line of sight.

I knew I couldn’t rely on you to stop me, or to catch me, so I ran. I shed every piece of the person I was when you loved me. On the second lap, I breathed into the fact that

I.

Am.

Still.

Whole.

I loved me, too.

I did it all right. I wrote my name in the sky, and renamed the North Star.

With no experience traveling, I packed light: a broken record even  was tired of hearing, a bottle of red wine.

I can use what I carry. Weighed down by nothing but my own understanding I move forward.
