two weeks
culminating
in a frantic five hours
of testing
of practicals
of sitting in traffic
of standing in security
of waiting
for the flight to board

in three hours
i will be
farther from you
in a place
that is homeless
without your presence

two weeks
culminating
in depression
in loneliness
in heading
to my second place
home
that will be empty
just me
and the thoughts
of you
