Let me give you my old address
so that if you are in the neighborhood
you can drive by,
see if you’ve repainted.
You might also see someone I used to know.
Maybe eventually 
we will see each other.

Let me give you my address
so that you can find it
on a map,
so that at least you will know
where I came from,
at least someone will know
where I came from.

On the map
it’s the pale orange shape
next to the light blue
of the water
where I walked on the wet sand
dragging a stick, drawing
a line that would lead back.
