Keepsakes
by Matthew ZangenIt's ours, mine;
given
stayed time,
kept posted,
held ghosts, grayed notes:
important, potable,
smellable.
That's us, me;
misgiving, trusting
part time ghosts,
taking
notes, remembrance
gone
ransom, stench
lost, folded crimes
crumpled, time
taking gifts, keeping
away, giving
everything, those
ghost stinks
and thought crimes,
they aren't yours, aren't mine. 12/04/2014 Posted on 12/04/2014
