Trash Can

July 25, 2018

 

The trash can filled
with all invaluable
items

Items, those I preserved
On and on
for years together
Started to open the day I understood

Understood
What is what
Who is who?
Where is who?
Why is what?

My charismatic articles
of love and
softness

Put in my archive
Turned out to be
in a trash can
bought by you
