11 october

inactions loud as words
the space created by not waiting

i am making a package
for which there is no
appropriately sized box

packer is struggling still
after the shop has closed
-- here's what we'll do --

finally flubbing the address
transposing sentences
sense of disbelief
flush away at ground rates
no rush, just away

cannot fear the arrival
cannot overthink more
the card enclosed
goodbye and thank you anyway

the package on the porch
overstuffed with regrets, disappointment
hollow enough to return
