The Curatorial Years

With less ahead than behind
she begins to select
what will fill this old house
past her tenure
& what will be left behind
for clearance, burning or salvage

precise distillation of spirit
in the cauldron of words
better to prepare than

be caught without one’s papers in order!
trawling through and editing out
the story you would leave
those you love.
