Hello, friends. Back again, finally able to catch my breath a little. Posting some old ones again, will post a new assignment soon. Thanks for giving me some time, it was one of the most profound experiences of my life to see CR accomplish what so many did not believe possible.
Too Much to Carry
(late 80's)
Once again
we pack up our lives,
wrap our memories
in old newspaper
to be tucked away
in anonymous brown boxes.
Every time
we shed a little more,
leave behind a few more tears and smiles.
Our days reduced to belongings
which we must decide are
too painful to leave
or too heavy to carry.
It always hurts to leave.
The things we know
packed away from our touch,
unable to assure us
that we are really real.
All we need to know
is that this place
is no longer ours to use.
Never certain of
which direction we are moving,
only that it is
away.
