Rolling Suitcase

Rose Polenzani

I think I'll wait
a little while
before I let him out.

It seems like it's
the only time
to myself in the house

My private thoughts
like igneous rocks
hardened at my feet.

If I can't make
a safe place
I'll just pack
the rolling suitcase
of my love
of my love
of my love.

It's six am
and the birds are yellin'...
impatient for the day.

And I'm like them,
I set you free
just to get it out the way.

See I've been feeling
guilty as a cat
and wanting to show you the human in me.

If I can't make
a safe place
I'll just pack
the rolling suitcase
of my love
of my love
of my love.
