she wanted to run but made herself stop,
stop and think.

dollars and a taxi
the cheapest language.

she wanted to
start a new life
put some space between
herself and all the people
who would be looking for her.

she had always wanted to go south.

the twisted mountain spine of the continent,
plains and jungles all the way to
the Caribbean coast of Venezuela
that would become home.

(in Buenos Aires
you’ll
       lead the communist revolution
       read philosophy
       and dream)

she’d make her way,
adventures in solitude,
drowning -
              the sky and the sea,
              the same shades of blue.

she ran,
                           didn’t know it was all right to stop running now

she missed--
                               peace.
