ALL THAT I COULD NOT TAKE WITH ME

 

MEANING OF MEMORABILIA


I have much of too much

must try to charter a freighter

to sweep load 

all the deadweight

in all the time I have left

hidden in cacti pots

rice 

and kernel corn

which to carry

collections obvious

and collectibles

invisible and indivisible


stamps,

minted metal

printed paper

a fountain of pens 

thoughts thought and kept

poems posted and disbursed

schooled lines with loves and lives

illustrated people and parchment

porcelain stronger than metal

pictures of fairy lands when fairies lived

animals when they ran and crawled and purred

streets for walking and stumbling

pathways for choosing

metaphors almost always metamorphosed

times wished

times wished for all

and everyone

without history

or antiquity

always ever

and ever always
