her bags of tricks

i see the ghost of her at the airport.

in uniform, her airlines
pin on her navy blue jacket.
her starched white blouse,
and a printed scarf.

the not too short matching skirt.
her shiny black hair.
her heels.

her bright brown eyes. lipstick
just applied.

hand on her hip with that come hither
look
that flight attendants
are trained to do.

one bag at her side, but heavy
as a load
of bricks.

her bag of tricks.
