THE PATH TO THE MEDITERRANEAN

I'm packing my suitcase

for the Mediterranean.

A few cherished memories,

life's lines

and loves in the palm.

The nakedness of birth

(and subsequent deaths)

I cover with appropriate poems,

those that can

fit into the suitcase without wrinkling.

On the journey, a ship in a bottle will guide me.

I won't take the anchors out of my pockets

because I have no intention

of coming back.
