So she rode the bus
to places far away
leaving no trace
of her breath
no way for him to find her
Her backpack filled
with her life —
her life without him —
People called her bye bye brownie
people she doesn’t know
doesn’t care about
All he knows is her dreams
but she changes
mercurial he called her
wild cat her mother called her —
call her what you want
she knows who she is —
Gone
