Mid-Journey โ
Years ago, in graduate school,
I studied travel and mobility.
But the research was never only theoretical.
I was also traveling โ
watching how movement, borders, and small encounters shape ordinary lives.
Those thoughts slowly became small fragments on Twitter.
Each one began with the same words:
ๆ
ใฎ้ไธ โ Mid-Journey.
There were 365 of them.
In 2023 they became a small book.
Now I am walking that road again,
turning those fragments into poems โ
one each day until December 31.
365 fragments of a road.

under a pharmacy's humming light,
my words failed.
She drew a sun and moon on my medicine bag,
then traced them again until I nodded.
Her commitment crossed the border with meโโ
two borrowed lights

Mid-Journeyโโ
at first, I carried home like a folded map,
its familiar streets worn soft along the creases.
Beyond the bus window, each unfamiliar town
borrowed the colors of a place I had left,
and every departure still pointed backward.
Then came the days of staying.
At a table beside a station,
a woman set another cup beside her own.
We spoke in broken phrases, and in the pauses
something passed between us
that neither language knew how to keep.
Long after I left, I caught myself
listening to silence in the way she had.
One morning, at 7:17,
a train shivered beneath the paling sky.
The street I had known since childhood
and the stranger's untranslatable silence
met inside me, neither willing to disappear.
In their quiet tension, a borderland openedโโ
not a line between two countries,
but a place neither voice could claim alone.
I had believed that home stood still,
waiting at the far end of every journey.
Yet as the platform slipped away,
a country no map had named
stirred beneath my ribsโโ
made of departures and the places I had stayed,
of two voices that refused to become one.
For the first time, I was not leaving home behind.
Home was learning to travel.

I returned to the crossroads
after twenty years.
The road was narrower than I remembered,
the mountains smaller,
the sky less distant.
Perhaps memory is not
where the past survives,
but where the traveler
keeps becoming someone else.

years later, in a station
smelling of rain and oranges,
I bought a ticket to the city
you had once written on mine.
The old one lay inside my passport,
softened by borders and time,
its blue ink fading
where your pen had hesitated.
I did not know if you still lived there,
or whether your street
still carried the sound of your footsteps.
At dawn, the train crossed a river.
The last stars trembled in its water;
beyond the bridge, unfamiliar rooftops
opened slowly to the sun.
For years, I had carried that small curve
as the source of every journey.
Now, between my fingers,
it was asking me to arrive.

Mid-Journeyโโ
the dining car swayed gently
through the last hour of night,
its silver spoons trembling against porcelain
with every curve of the sleeping railway.
Beyond the window, darkness flowed
over fields I could only imagine.
My reflection hovered in the glass,
a stranger traveling beside himself.
At the far end of the carriage,
a waiter with sleepless eyes
moved quietly between the tables,
gathering the small remains of yesterday.
He paused beside me
and poured fresh coffee into my cup.
A thin ribbon of steam rose
between his tired hands and mine,
carrying the bitter fragrance
of something that promised morning.
Neither of us spoke.
Then the train emerged from a tunnel.
Sunlight entered all at once,
slipping over the white tablecloth,
catching the edges of the spoons,
turning the rising steam
into threads of trembling gold.
For an instant, the waiter's face
was illuminated by a dawn
he had worked all night to reach.
He smiled almost imperceptibly
and continued down the carriage,
fueling the half-awake passengers
one quiet cup at a time.
Outside, the fields unfolded into green,
and the horizon slowly loosened
its last hold on the night.
I had come looking for coffee.
But there, in the trembling surface of my cup,
the whole morning seemed to gatherโโ
not yet fully born,
still learning how to shine.
And as the train carried me
toward a place I had never seen,
I lifted the cup to my lips
and drank the first light of the world.

at 11:17 p.m., in a town
whose name I still mispronounced,
rain traced crooked rivers down the windows
of a laundromat glowing at the end of an empty street.
Inside, the dryers turned like captive moons,
their amber circles breathing warmth
into a night that smelled of wet pavement
and the unfamiliar sweetness of soap.
My clothes revolved behind the glassโโ
shirts and sleeves surrendering their shapes,
as though the road itself
were being washed out of them.
Beside me, an old woman
folded a child's socks beneath the fluorescent light,
smoothing each tiny heel with her thumb
as though the feet were still inside.
Once, she held a little sweater to her cheek
before folding it into a careful square.
We spoke no common language.
Only the soft thunder of turning drums
filled the distance between us.
Yet something in the way she touched that sweater
made the foreign night feel less foreign.
The machines kept turning,
fueling a small, impossible summer
in the heart of a town
where I knew neither the streets nor the stars.
When I carried my laundry back into the rain,
the warmth pressed gently against my chest.
And somewhere among those folded clothes,
I felt I had been given something
no machine could ever makeโโ
the tenderness of a home
I had never entered.

above a rain-dark street,
the bandoneon breathed into the room.
A floorboard sighed beneath my shoe,
remembering a thousand other dances.
Then your palm settled
between my shoulder bladesโโ
a pressure scarcely heavier than breath.
I had not decided to move
when my heel began to rise.
Something in your hand had reached
something beneath my skin
before either of us could name it.
We turned. You paused.
In that pause, I felt the next step gathering,
quiet as a tide before it reaches shore.
When I stood still, I sensed your weight shifting;
when you stood still, the unfinished turn
went on turning inside my ribs.
No one had written this music.
A hesitation became a measure,
a breath held open the space between two notes.
We followed a score
our bodies were writing too quickly to read.
Where your hand met my back,
I could no longer tell
which of us had begun to sway.
Yet your hand remained your hand,
and my back, my backโโ
while the invisible boundary between them
moved with every breath.
Then the bandoneon fell silent.
Footsteps returned across the wooden floor.
But neither of us stepped away.
Beneath the quiet of our skin,
an unfinished measure went on.
And I wonderedโโ
had we been dancing all along,
or was it the distance between us
that had finally learned to dance?

Mid-Journeyโโ
rain followed the bus
through a country
whose language I could not speak.
Beside me, a stranger
said something before leaving.
I understood none of it.
For miles, I carried those words,
resisting the urge
to give them a meaning of my own.
Outside, the rain kept falling
on villages I could not name.
And I began to wonder
how much of the world
we must leave untranslated
to let it remain someone else's.

at a small airfield, the last light
caught on the rivets of the wing.
Beyond the window, its tip quivered
in a wind I could not feel.
My nervous fingers gripped the armrest.
The engines woke; their low vibration
climbed through the floor
and settled beneath my ribs.
Even the strongest metal trembles
before it rises into the sky.
Then the runway markings streamed past,
faster than I could count.
For one breath, the wheels held onโโ
and then the earth let go.
Neither the wing nor my heart
had stopped tremblingโโ
yet both were flying.

Mid-Journeyโโ
on a dusty field in a foreign town,
I rested my fingers on the raised red seams
of a baseball softened by a hundred unfamiliar hands.
Across the fading light, someone raised his glove,
and I threw what I believed was a straight fastball.
For a moment, it obeyedโโ
cutting a clean line through the evening air.
But just before it reached the waiting glove,
it drifted quietly off its promised line,
as though the wind had whispered something
the ball had never heard from me.
The leather struck the mitt with a hollow sound.
He caught it, looked at me, and smiled.
I smiled back, wondering what he had seen
in the small curve I had never meant to throw.
Years later, I found those same red seams
beneath the skin of wordsโโ
small ridges of memory, history, and longing
that catch the air of another person's world
and bend a meaning we believed was straight.
Perhaps every word leaves the hand
already carrying the possibility of another path.
And somewhere between the one who speaks
and the one who listens,
it learns a language neither has entirely known.
I remember that evening field,
the fading light, the silence after the catchโโ
and how the ball came to rest inside his glove,
while the straight line I had intended
remained somewhere in the air between us.

as the train pulled away,
a child waved from a rain-streaked window,
his small hand following the platform
as though reluctant to let it go.
I raised my camera,
then slowly lowered it.
The train vanished around the bend,
taking with it a moment
no photograph would ever hold.
Years later, I still see that hand
waving through the rainโโ
a memory so personal
that I never needed proof
it had happened at all.

at an airport cafรฉ,
beneath the restless glow
of the departure board,
you turned my ticket over
and wrote your address on its back.
Around us, cups touched saucers,
luggage wheels whispered across the floor,
and strangers hurried toward
places we would never know.
Your pen hesitated
at the curve of the final letter.
I remember that more clearly
than the words we said goodbye with.
Years later,
crossing countries whose languages
have slowly faded from my memory,
I still find the source
of every journey I have taken
in that small blue curve of inkโโ
where your hand paused,
as though unwilling
to let mine go.

in a city I knew only from my map,
dusk settled beneath the plane trees.
A little radio crackled on a bench,
releasing a tango into the cooling air.
An old woman stepped onto the gravel,
her worn heels brushing fallen leaves.
She turned once, then again,
training the empty air
to remember the shape of an embrace.
One hand rested on an unseen shoulder;
the other opened toward the last light.
When the music faded into static,
she held the unfinished gestureโโ
and from the far end of the path,
evening seemed to take
one slow step toward her.

by the time I reached the square,
rain had darkened the old cobblestones.
In a shallow puddle, the church tower
trembled upside down.
Beneath its clock, a boy
raised his violin to his chin.
He was training his fingers
to find a path through four fragile notes.
His bow slipped. The melody broke.
A pigeon wandered into the silence;
from a nearby cafรฉ,
a spoon rang softly against a cup.
Then the church bells began,
their bronze voices spilling
over the rain-washed roofs.
The boy raised his bow once more.
His uncertain notes rose
into the spaces between the bellsโโ
and for one brief moment,
the whole square was playing
a song no one had rehearsed.

Mid-Journeyโโ
at 7:17 that evening, beneath a fading lamp,
I opened my notebook to a page
still carrying dust from the road.
Beyond the window, a bus pulled away,
bearing names I would never know.
I had come to write my way out
of the histories, customs, and borrowed truths
that wrapped themselves around each foreign place.
I gathered the unfamiliar into sentencesโโ
a street, a doorway, a voice in the rainโโ
as though the world might fit
between two lines of ink.
But every sentence had a border.
Beyond it, someone remembered
the same rain from another life,
the same road from another journey.
For a moment, our stories touched,
their outlines softening in the dark,
yet neither could speak for the other.
I read the page again and heard
what its narrow frame had silenced:
the hours before my arrival,
the footsteps that had crossed mine,
the roads that would continue after I left.
I knew that even the truest words
could not restore what they left behind.
And so I kept the words
but left the margin whiteโโ
not as an emptiness to be conquered,
nor a silence waiting to be filled,
but as a place where untold lives
might remain beyond my knowing.
Perhaps this was the cleansing I had sought:
not to make the world transparent,
but to let my certainty grow thin
until, through the spaces in my story,
I could almost hear
the stories that were never mine to tell.

Mid-Journeyโโ
the mountain path climbed steeply
through the thinning morning mist.
A porter walked ahead of me,
my heavy bag upon his shoulders,
its strap digging into his skin.
I asked if the weight was too much.
He turned and smiled,
then continued without a word.
At a bend in the road,
he stopped to catch his breath.
Far below, a village stirred awake,
thin threads of smoke rising
from roofs still hidden in shadow.
Perhaps someone waited for him there.
Perhaps no one did.
When he lifted my bag again,
I reached out to help.
He smiled once more,
and adjusted the strap across his shoulder.
For the rest of the climb,
I watched the weight I had given him,
wondering about the weight
he had carried long before
our paths had crossed.

Mid-Journeyโโ
I came home after dark,
sat beside the door,
and loosened my travel-worn sneakers.
From a narrow groove in one sole,
a tiny white pebble slipped freeโโ
one clear note
in the sleeping house.
It was small enough to hide
beneath my thumbnail,
smooth on one side,
rough on the other.
I turned it slowly in my palm,
trying to remember
which road had lent it to me.
No road came back.
I placed it on the windowsill.
Beyond the glass, the familiar street
shone faintly after rain.
Inside, a small piece of somewhere else
rested quietly in the dark.
At dawn, a narrow beam of sunlight
crossed the sill and touched the stone.
The room was no larger than before,
yet somewhere within it,
a distant road began againโโ
as though my journey
had arrived a little later than I had.

Mid-Journeyโโ
beneath a yellow lamp,
I unfolded a map worn thin at its creases.
I marked the towns where I had rested,
then joined them with straight lines
along the edge of a ruler.
Months of wandering
became a handful of quiet strokes of graphite.
Not one remembered where the road had turned.
Yet between those lines
and the winding roads my feet remembered,
another geography lay hidden.
There was the hillside I climbed twice
because a stranger had mistaken east for west,
the doorway where I sheltered from sudden rain,
the market where an old woman pressed an orange
into my palm without asking where I came from.
None of these had earned a dot upon the map.
Yet those unmarked detours
had carried me farther
than the straight lines could ever tell.
I laid the ruler aside.
In the silence between the lines,
I began to give the forgotten roads their voicesโโ
rain whispering against a roof,
the warmth of an orange in my hand,
a stranger calling out from a distant turning.
And as the words unfolded,
the roads began to open beneath my feet.
The rain fell once more.
The orange warmed my empty hand.
Beyond the market, a narrow path appeared
that I could not remember ever taking.
I looked down.
The map was still upon the desk,
its straight lines undisturbed.
The towns remained exactly where they had been.
Yet somewhere between those lines,
I was walking againโโ
first through places I remembered,
then beyond the last turning of memory,
toward a place my footsteps had never reached.
I had unfolded the map
to tell the story of a journey.
But somewhere between its lines,
the story had become a road,
and I was no longer merely telling the journeyโโ
I was journeying through the story.
