POETRY
End of the road
There are no returns
other than memories.
More relocations than return addresses,
than towns you could memorize.
More objects rushed into a suitcase
than unpacking. What we carried
with us was needed merely as a disguise,
hoods and trekking shoes serving a ritual
of transformation. Van Gogh used to eat yellow
paint for melancholy. We breath the road
in, its yellow, sunny timelessness.
Now I can see that we did not look
for home, just for the punch line.

The laureate of literature contests in Ireland and Poland, she won twice in casino too.
