Two Weeks From Leaving

All morning she did
the things she loved:

Stole poetry from moths
asleep on marble graves.

Felt catholic without church,
longed for cold rain.

Waited, leaning into her latte
with black eyes. Tried writing

delicate, infinite numbers
as they gathered in droplets

outside the city limits,
like audacious prayers

tried to explain lately
why flowers in Greece

blossom,
tenaciously.

She waited.
The rains came.
