Let Them Leave

Updated: Mar 25

Reasons reasons reasons

piled up on the floor in front of me


What to do with them?


I could organize them

alphabetically


Create a castle for the princess

wait for the rescue


Stack them in the corner

to be dealt with another time


Give them out to hands open or closed

they're yours now


Quick! Slide them under the rug

before the neighbors see


Exhausted by possibilities

I slide cross-legged before them


One by one I examine the silly things


And each one makes something of me


A laugh, preposterous

A gasp, unbelievable

A tear, depressing


Until I've seen them all

That is that


When they're all gone

they're powerless
