Day 20

For today’s prompt, we were to take a line from an earlier poem (from this month) to begin a new poem for today.  I've started this poem with a live from one of my Day 4 poems, Case of Goodbyes.



Travels Abroad

on the soles of your shoes,
particulate evidence that you have

found the cradle of your infancy.
