moving ii.

sitting here
butt sunken into the deflating air mattress,
piles of clothes thrown up
all over the bed
being pulled out of 
the proud chest of drawers,
now standing naked and forlorn.
i thought i would be more 
downcast in the process of 
all this uprooting, 
the familiar act of 
putting our home in 
boxes,
but for now, 
i feel peace, joy, 
and excitement.
i have loved this Oxford home 
with  all my heart,
but i think goodbyes are ok 
sometimes.
