Lizz Murphy - Poem 260: Train xii.


TRAIN

xii.

A prominent poet is interested in my history
So you won’t have ‘survival guilt’ but you would have ‘migrant guilt?’
I take this away with me
It is tucked in the leaves of their poetry books
stashed in my suitcase sitting on the luggage rack

    It is tucked in the leaves of their poetry books
