And then they say, ‘You belong here, not there’


I belong to where I have been
Filled with stubs of tickets spent
Passes of my boarding and indentations of me in the seats I've slept in
I am the overstuffed and I am the poorly sewn and totems from my travel spill out when I dance
I am the nomadic collector of memories and moments,
 of sticky hands grabbing fragments of wander lust. 
And I am hiding them beneath these ribs.
Follow me and you may find them
I leave bits of my self in the footprints I step from.

Here. There. 

I do not belong where you want me to.
