Heart-Shaped Lollies
I arrive
At the Station.
Heart-shaped lollies
Stuck to cement floors
Now appear at the bottom of my shoes.
The sun
Has turned them into a mixture
Of sweet nothingness
That children slip into.
My train arrives.
On board:
Baggage,
Hearts, atom-sized,
Hearts, atomic.
The announcement
Has changed my destiny:
“The baggage is too great
And not capable of holding you.”
Tickets are non-refundable
And heart-shaped lollies
Keep me stuck to cement floors,
Waiting an age for what’s mine.
