my father's suitcase

Acha (father)
Writing to you as our day ends
March 22, 2024
And yours has begun
Onwards
To a distance

As I lay down
After your internally grieving wife
Finally purged her sorrow
Before falling asleep
I'm thinking of what to pack for you 

Like you always wished,
We put your wedding suit on for you
The ivory shirt and the soil brown suit 
Forgot your floral tie though

But form your journey onward. My father.

Let there be 
An abundance of love
No dearth of worldly travels 
A life that is light, may be flippant too
A box full of magic
A breath full of the ridiculous 
A page with bad grammar

May you travel light
In whatever universe you choose

Do carry your courage
And the will to live
But light.. light
