and wherever she is at departure
she begins with 
the same luggage

tightly packed sins
folded neatly beside
longings wrapped around

desire and interests
maybe historical
memorabilia  

so as she shifts from one
state of self  into the next
remember the future

she wants to roll into
and model that being now

Love it, Barbara Joan. Love your 13 year journey and the wider journey behind/underpinning that one. Love the sense of movement and embarking upon I get from “luggage… memorabilia…roll into.”
