On the dock where you board the boat for Ship Island, someone will take your picture: the photograph - who you were - will be waiting when you return.. very fine poem. tony

But you're not able to return, I was told.

A poem of great worth! ! So fresh and crisp with creativity, some have philosophical but theoretical is correct as your title says! ! One of the best poems I have read! ! !

Fantastic poem. I quote: what you must carry - tome of memory its random blank pages. On the dock where you board the boat for Ship Island, someone will take your picture:

Here and there! ! 'Everywhere you go will be somewhere'! On the sphere. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A sort of philosophical drop. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

Good imagery! Well crafted!

Philosophy deep and a bit difficult tone..good poem. excellent

'there's no going home', 'who you were will be waiting on your return' such telling lines in this great poem. There is this sense of timeless travel as you read the lines.

I could visualise this as it read out over the page

Such a well crafted poem by Natasha Trethewey.....................

...someone will take your picture: the photograph - who you were - will be waiting when you return... Wonderful poem.
