Here is a small, strange, and telling thing:
I have always loved the airport.
My heart for the liminal,
and moments ungrounded -
this is at the root
of our distance.
Spurning roots,
I chose
flight

So lovely. I read this like watching water on a path. A piece doesn't need flowery language when you have the right story to tell. This message is a subtle ache and you delivered it beautifully. Congratulations on your win!

I love how you ended your poem with flight! Using a metaphor with wings for running away from a relationship is clever, clever, clever! Echos of Free Bird!
