Weight, Weight

There is a piece of baggage

I cannot seem to

let go of.

It slogs with me

wherever

I roam.

And so I lug it

round like a baby

strapped to my

flesh and bone.

I’ve sought to leave it

places, random places,

in hopes that it will end up

in a room of lost baggage

for someone to pick through,

claim, putting it behind me

so that I might travel on

unencumbered. Still,

it holds on, and I

carry it on.

And while I’ve eschewed

this lumbering parcel’s freight,

blaming myself for holding on

when all I want to do is

let go, clearly there is

something within it

that wants to be

pulled out, gone

through—seen.

So I rise this holy morn

feeling as I wish not to feel:

weighed down by what

I can’t seem to

let go of.

And it's occurred to me

that this is a fine state

to be bringing to the

threshold of this

sacred portal:

learning to be weightless

whilst being grounded

on this swirling patch

of blue green

studding

the cosmos.

That this weight

has a mission quite

like that of my soul,

and it is only heavy

when I refuse to

set it down

now and

then,

sorting through

what’s inside with

great care, finding

the right time and

place to open

it up and

peer

in—

not making

life wrong for

giving me cargo

to carry from

here

to there,

nor gravity

for keeping

my feet on

the earth.

Wings are not yet

fitted to mankind,

I nod. We’ve more

time traveling on

foot to evolve

into them.

And so I dream

of flying even as

my would-be

feathers flake

off as so much,

so much

dust.

And I learn

to trust my

journey and

the all that

comes

with it.
