#181 ‘Two weeks away’

We pack the car

consult the map

fill the tank

the water bottles

stack CDs

jubes and USBs

consult the map

make a booking

pack our clothes

books, camera, hats

consult the map

re-pack the car

make a list

re-pack the patient car

indifferent

and beautiful

watch local birds

do circles

sensing a departure

We leave

a twenty dollar note

on the kitchen table

for whoever

            breaks in

                        this time
