Poem #69: Inside of a Box

#70 of Poetry

With the recent move, it's no wonder I wrote a poem about it. Enjoy. :)

Inside of a Box

Batches of boxes,

Packing peanuts and tape,

Gasoline and cash,

Fill up the week to come.

Packing away things

Used everyday fills

The day and passes away.

Keys, cleaners and sweat

Could fill the rooms and

Hallways of each new place;

Leaving the old empty.

Discovering forgotten things

For a brief window of time

Only to lose once more.

Forward and back

And back again

Distance between place and place

Becomes staggering.

It makes me happy and sad

And tired

To see my life put in

And reduced to

A bunch of cardboard boxes.
