Watch the video, read the words and spend a short while in silence to think on what you have seen and read.

Two Suitcases
Moniza Alvi
I pack two suitcases,
one for myself
and one for my shadow
my faithful companion
Often it’s the two of us –
it’s better that way.
But when I sleep my shadow
completely disappears.
It’s a troubled time.
I just hope the moon is looking out for me.
