Having packed
my things
and loaded
the truck
I stop
sitting back
in the rocker
on my neighbor's
porch
nothing
on my mind
no regrets about
driving off
my old shoes
now
no longer fit.
It doesn't feel
like
I'm uprooting myself
exactly
though
the map I'm using
is as imprecise
as it is
informing.
The uncertainty
is inconsequential
because nothing
changes the fact
I no longer
belong
in the place
I am leaving.
