I will ask myself while in line for immigration control, or sitting on my bed at home with an empty valise, or filling out papers at the municipal building.
Separated from his alcoholic, bipolar, embittered wife -- another suitcase -- he is caught between salvation and damnation like a valise hemmed in on an airport carousel.
The hearth below is cluttered with andirons, while a wicker basket and a battered blue valise lie on a herringbone-patterned floor before the fireplace.
