'Return Flight' by Daniel Brown

In every airport

I visit

a young girl in a green overcoat

stares

at the white runway.

She never tires

of Atlanta

in late November

or fresh

snowfall.

In departure lounges

I wonder

what color

my coat was

five decades ago?

A

stranger

who glanced

from the ticket counter

remembers.

All Rights. Daniel Brown.
