Theories of Time and Space

by Natasha Trethewey

You can get there from here, though there's no going home.

Everywhere you go will be somewhere you've never been.

Try this:head south on Mississippi 49,

one- by-one mile markers ticking off another minute of your life.

Follow this to its natural conclusion - dead end at the coast,

the pier at Gulfport where riggings of shrimp boats are loose stitches

in a sky threatening rain. Cross over the man-made beach,

26 miles of sand dumped on a mangrove swamp - buried terrain of the past.

Bring only what you must carry - tome of memory its random blank pages.

On the dock where you board the boat for Ship Island,

someone will take your picture:the photograph - who you were - will be waiting when you return
