lined, filed
mixing patterns
sealing cavities
with sewer covers
frugal
miles and mountains
of rows
blood (hardened)
sloshed over the leaves
garage sale;
reading a deceased woman's journal
collecting postcards
climbing in
swelling
forgetful
layered
straying eyes making stories
shale in shards
your mothers closet
walking the perimeter
occasional gusts
searching with such
a fury that
we discover something

old.
