Baggage

trivialities, then let me know

Cover me in couched cliches

So I can reap what I’ve sown

Clear my cluttered schedule

of everything I’ve owned

Pack me in a battered case

Leave me to my misery

because that’s how I’ve grown

in this gathering twilight

I’ve saved up the night

tucked it deep down inside

with the dried tears I’ve cried

If this is the last time for

happiness, tell me honestly

So I don’t take it for granted

Capture it between glass plates

Pin it down to the page

in case it tries to wriggle away

in case it can’t help judging me

for keeping it in darkness

Because I am in darkness

But I don’t want to leave this here

stuck inside this baggage

that will never find a destination

Lost in a transmitting error

Corrupted lines on the screen

hoping to be cured.
