A Dusty Closet
Posted at 1:51 am | Filed Under poetry
A dusty closet
of knick knacks
strewn across the floor
memories of a past long gone
and out a gate
and down a narrow path
winding up and back

or a fortnight
of better days
and better ways
for when the end comes
none shall cherish what will be
nor remember what’s not
