Gypsy Shell


My mind keeps its luggage packed
in order to travel at a moment’s notice.

Caught in a gypsy shell,
it hangs memories with thumbtacks
to be easily removed when thoughts
invade to redecorate.

It's good that the instinct of survival can at minimum retreat to the stronghold of our mind. Nice
