what if I can’t travel with
because of
oh you know it shows up on the monitor
that static image x-ray of a measly meager life?
the picture show
a Rorschach test–these innards of baggage
familiar hairbrush preening
clothing invisible
what does it mean?
do my belongings lack?
do they see a heart when I walk through
the ancient sword I swallowed?
the yellow pen lies quietly
hot clip of india ink
nib bayonet in gold
