Lost Luggage

Yes, my suitcase arrived in  Florence 3 days after I did.


            Lost Luggage
What was so carefully packed
has been carelessly misplaced:
your life, already reduced
to essentials, has been left
behind or flown to some
other destination,
so you end up where you want
to be but without everything
you need – waiting,
waiting, waiting
in a foreign airport
for the ever moving baggage
belt to bring you some bit of home.
