light baggage, please

we want to claim

small baggage

at the turnstile. we want

to say

we have no

burdens

no skeletons in the closet.

we want

no drama,

no old loves hanging

tightly

to the rails of your

life.

we want to be done

with

yesterdays troubles.

we want this new day

to be empty

of sorrow, we want

the weight of what

we carry to be easy,

to be light.
