Oh roadrunner

never able to stay in one place

traveling seeing the tiredness

on your face.

you cooked. You wrote. And were

always hungry for more.

no reservations. The layover.
All the parts unknown.
Roadrunner, you taught me to

go where the tourists don’t.
not afraid to try the things most won’t.
I packed my bags and went abroad, too.
O Anthony, I’ll forever miss you!
