destination

how refreshing it is

to remove yourself

from a

person,

a space,

a way of being,

& to return in the body—

more often, the mind—

seeing that not

much has changed.

but you have.

it is like a

tall glass of water

after having adjusted

to dehydration:

quenching the thirst &

awakening the senses.

others may stay,

but you have

arrived.
