Packing up House

Haiku of Now.

Socks in the saucepan,

labels lost, bubble wrap dreams -

chaos wears my shoes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Packing, moving...UGH!

each box filled...overflowing

my teeth and nerves hurt.

~

I pack my own self -

"can't fit in the truck". Boxes

all jostle for room.

~

Fold, seal, lift, repeat -

a dance of cardboard and dust,

sweat drips in the mix .

~

Boxes stacked like walls -

memories wrapped to silence,

the future beckons.

~

One last look behind,

then forward to the unknown -

new space awaits name.
