morgan is airborne by now
flying toward the world's southern tip
we played for a day and a night and ignored the saying goodbye business
celebrated each other's company until she was driving down G eorge street and I was standing on the sidewalk

without morgan by sight by sound by touch by smell by anything but one letter back and forth
from wilderness

this will, no doubt, be three months like no other.
