Leaving Orbit
by Deborah P. Kolodji
i watch
the shrinking
no one
sees mine
i possess
no portals
to wave
good-bye
how far
we measure
in heart beats
that move

        light speeds
        away from
        my family

moving far
away from
my world

        moving even
        away from
        myself.
