Analysis of LUGGAGE
A poem is the luggage
Into which we pack
Our memories
Our experiences
Our joy
Our sorrow
The luggage
Into which we pack
The snowman
Our children built
In '86 when
They couldn't get
To school.
We hide our fears
At the bottom
Underneath the underwear.

About this poem
It is always interesting what triggers a certain memory. It is not always clear what opened the luggage.
