Keep Moving

If you keep moving,

and do not stay 

anywhere too long-

you'll resist roots,

which are only 

more things 

that keep you bound 

to an illusion

that there is something 

worth being bound to

or for.

If you keep moving,

more and more

you'll grow 

weary of the ritual:

unpacking,

questioning, 

finding a storage spot, 

and then,

eventually

picking it all up,

repacking,

and moving 

to new location,

beginning all over again.

But,

carry forward 

memories in your heart,

facts in your mind,

music in your torso,

caresses in your fingertips.

these are 

the only things worth

keeping,

the only things 

of value.

Anything more,

and you're just 

a pack rat.
