Luggage

Remembering the capital cities
was a great excitement in school
I wondered when I would go
to all those places
There are just too many.

While I press my chin
against the window
The stations rush past
and the destinations recede fast.

There is one final dead end
Where the train stops
and there
everything is emptied.

Now that is what I love about the way you write, like it was nothing at all, a plain story, and then somewhere you leave a trap, perfect to hold a careless foot that was wandering. This write justifies the title of your blog. Stations recede,And the luggage, feels so heavy, or is there a relief in the end, very end?
