Lost & Unclaimed


Standing in

baggage-claim,

watching belongings

go round again

waiting for something 

that will never come,

an army of strangers

grab their bags and run

leaving me distant

adrift and alone,

as the carousel stops

—my location unknown 

 

(Shangri-La Airport: January, 2004)
