Amid the chatter of happy tourists—coming or going like cleaning ants— I sit in silence.

Traveling alone I watch them swarm with thoughts of what I’ve left behind.

What emotions leak from my eyes? and why can’t I stop them?

What anger churns in my belly?

The sour taste of impotence.

Phone calls and emails do not fill the corkscrewing void.

Would it be any better if I were there?
