The suitcase.
The rusting...

i've always believed that love lost is unpleasant,
painful as little as a lachrymal biopsy,
and as much as an emotional disembowelment
or lobotomy of the heart.

i am told that a love who walks out or finds love,

With the strength of the four winds
No need for yelling

When the world was not dark, but ever so still and twinkling bright.

Under the sun
beaks of death
points at living things
that roam the universe
