My Longing Again and Again
slowly pulled my suitcase
headed straight
to the departure area
i was on queue, then
looked back
only prints of my
wheels' luggage
remained
the goodbye waves
of my kids
their shadows, too
were gradually gone
i wanted to crawl
stealthily out
and tell them to
wait for me
my longings began
my blood melted its
viscosity and
turned into blue
i didn't want to recall
the endless anguish
someone tapped
on my shoulder
in my surprised
the lady told me,
"your passport, please!"
my heart stabbed
with sharpness edge
of the knife
i let the piercing
pain shook me
again and again
until i became numb
