Moving

My things tumble down inside me
as I arduously work to sort, pack, move, unpack

Little things I have no clue how I acquired
what to use for
or how to get rid of

Huge things that have great value
to me
but take too much space
and rarely ever taken out of their box

Things too painful to look at
reminding me of a hatred for something already forgiven
but not yet sorted

Things I supposedly own
that own me

causing dreams of running away
with merely a backpack with my most valuable and needed stuff

Oh how I wish these things would just spontaneously combust!
