The Luggage Light Brings

Light arrives from its flight wheeling behind its suitcase of shadows, exposures, echoes and consequences. It spills its hoard across the floor, and gathers remnant dark remains from dim corners. It daubs and stitches black silhouette capes and patches behind all it passes. These shadowy figures are light's wind vanes tracing where its being seen. Light reveals the cracks, dents, dust and flaws hidden by unrealized expectations. It dusts the scene for fingerprints and other forensic traces bringing all the hidden unseemly before and afters into stark relief. Nothing escapes light's black valise carry-on bag.
