Aloha

Packing things into brown boxes.

Concealed memories in a cardboard funeral.

Harboring dust like it’s a trophy.

Time ticks

               ticks

                     ticks

                           ticks away.

So much crammed into tight spaces.

Wrinkled and wrapped up just like it was placed.

The season on my face is fall.

Each tear swaying down like a fallen leaf.

Choking on how to say goodbye.

Adios.

Sayonara.

Au Revoir.

Aloha.
