BABY JUST SENT ME A

Your vacation pictures
placed so daintily
in your electronic album
available online
are beautiful.

I know you were nervous to fly
but
it seems
getting away did you some good.
You look so happy
so far away.

You are leaning left in many of the shots
unbalanced in your Hunter green boots
as you smile to your right
wistfully.

It’s not the photographer
you’re looking at
or the people in frame with you
but you will regularly stare out there.

Your pale eyes are piercing something
someone who I can’t see.
Who is it?
You do not look at me like that.
I don’t think you ever have.

You look so good in the pictures.
Welcome home
I’m glad you enjoyed your trip.
