Ever since she was a girl
she would carry her suitcase.
That’s what they’ve been telling her since she was a kid
that there are a lot of things that a girl
can afford herself to not know
except that the girls were created to go
and that tomorrow
cannot meet them but ready to leave,
that’s why she started to weave tomorrows with her hands
and everywhere she took them in her suitcase .
She waited all her life for tomorrow
and when tomorrow was long overdue,
even when others told her that the lines of her hand
still say nothing about tomorrow.
(And who knows how many times
she left tomorrow in sky’s hands)
—
The years passed and she
started to give out her dowry piece by piece
until “the moment” came,
around her sixties,
in her old suitcase,
only her heart remained.
