luggage

by Angela Thomas

i'm leaving in t-minus three hours and can you believe
that i'm still not packed? that there's still a vintage
suitcase, one that belonged to my grandfather, sitting
half empty, half full of my cat, on my bed. and i don't

know what else to put in it. how do i pack my dreams?
little whispers late at night that everything is okay, or
maybe your lips when they're pressed tightly to my skin?
i don't want to pack. i don't want to take the essentials

and cram them in metal and leather and fabric and hear
the little -click- as the clasp locks shut, all valuables
out of sight, out of mind. now, don't get me wrong, bright
lights, fast city, slow country, dark wine, i'm going to enjoy

myself very much. i just wish i wasn't leaving you
with a suitcase and a shoestring dangling hope for the future.
