No Place

I’ve been searching, fast,
for a couple words to unravel
the traveling I’ve done

to no place in time
to the spaces I like to forget
the car seat cracks in my mind
where all the pretzel salt collects
and the toothpicks tell
resurrection stories

I choked back an ugly cry
miles above the Pacific
between glasses of red wine
lost on a few hours
of foreign wandering
