it was such a shame to see you go

the way you try so hard to fold the cloth without shaking

your fingers trying to keep its steady condition to keep

the luggage close without fabrics spewing out

you were quiet yet loud with occasional whimpers escaping

i can see how much you are struggling to remind yourself

that you are a man

Men don't cry.

tilting my head...

So only girls do?

i ask him with my eyes

he shakes his head, not wanting to argue

you always shake things off, what's new?

you snatched up your wool jacket hanging from the closet

it's been there for years

it's good you remembered

The wheels of the luggage echoing on the floor shouted how hurt you are

ringing and vibrating in my ears

Goodbye. I didn't cry.
