Lines of latitude and longitude intersecting on a map.
But you are the blank space between the lines.
Did you notice your feathers getting ripped out
When some tried to fly away with you?
Did you notice you burst through their heads, after an echo chamber of infinite silence?
A timely business form, or the last week of a relationship you formed.

Gone from your country for so long that
Foreign escorts aid your way home
And teach you your culture, a shock to us all.
Filled in space out of country, in country,
Overseas,
Just live underwater
With the few you left drowning in their own tears.

Notice your travels of solitary selfies and countless classes,
Learning language to meet the masses.
Hundreds of acquaintances and hundreds of ends.
But the money you spend on plane tickets can't buy you friends.
Memories shared by no one, memories no one can share.
Do I wish you the best or just wish you despair?
