Howlin' Like The Wolf
We're goin' out to Idaho where the potatoes grow
honey we're leavin' quite soon
but if you call it quits then I've had my chips
and like the wolf I'll be a-howlin' at the moon
I'm over this Sunshine State yeah I can hardly wait
baby we're leaving at noon
but if you say 'No way!' and you wanna stay
like the

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

Baggage Or Luggage
I
We know Psych 101
Thanks Oprah; Phils of many a hue
But our baggage becomes luggage
II
We say the right words (mostly for image)
The hard work of transformation (even Romans 12: 1-2) stops
Each time we have a nice day, or a nice "friend"

Leave it there; don't

No Luggage Space
the knock was heard twice
and liking questions he asked
'someone at the door?'
the sound came again
this time from somewhere closer
and he said 'hello?'
there was no answer
just another knock nearer
he quizzed 'the back stair?'
was it death he thought
holding a smile and dreaming
he asked 'friend or foe?'
came the voice 'neither
i am not of this world
'but another view'
'how well

Lost Luggage Unclaimed
Drowning in utter pain
black dog bites
Once again
I can't breath
I cannot cope
Heading for the torrid gutter
via the slippery slope
Lost in the srounding confounding darkness
Where I blindly fear to tread
I crawl into the sanctuary of a shell
of my bed
A bed of nails that stab so deep
My only escape and allie is sleep
But when I awake
My overwhelming hits

Luggage
Twilight in Bordeaux,
and the luggage
still waits for me...
I make my way
in familiar/unfamiliar streets
to the railway station.
Familiar, for one sees
similar all over France -
the cobblestones.
My luggage will resound
on these on my way
to the Hôtel Passion.
You will hear me coming!
Think of it - the tiny wheels
wanting to be heard
above the cars.
They will rumble with delight
at the

Luggage Check
Clouded glass prevented
The driver from reaching her
Destination. Sunken eyelids,
Furrowed forehead,
Contributed to the already
Wearied woman's unseemly appearance.
Yet she dreaded that most of all.
Then as fast as a fish flitting
Out of the water and in,
She realized how wrong they'd
Been all along. These freeloading
Hitchhikers were simply baggage
In her already jam-packed car.
Furthermore, they
Didn't deserve to see that side
Of

The Luggage of Lies and Loss
This is but a play of woes,
The tales of friends and fans that nurse friendly fires:
Oh what a bunch of friendly foes
The fiery flowers that lure into the mires
The moon in grey colors sings gladly
The stars dances in the colors of the night,
The sparrows’ concert ended sadly
But the world still smiles with a

Courage In the Luggage
To live is to travel for the strange.
Sometimes, the images and passages
leave us in a soaked state
without the vision of abysses.
The destiny of trip is an unknown,
nor maps advance to draw.
The road is infinite
but there are shortcuts
for those who want to cut them.
In the luggage: dreams,
