Abrupt, full of doubt, steady movement

swollen ankles, motion sickness

broken charger, new journal 5 pages full,

heavy clouds, cool breezes, police lights,

hotel rooms, bus rides, unfinished apartment, cancelled debit card, missing my kids,

sleeping on floor, broken friendship, airports

dead cousin, funeral, pregnancy, hail storm,

totaled car, new job, new daycare, new strangers,

and I would do it all again

minus the cousin and funeral part

something about being alone.
