Inside the Box
by Meghan HelmichHidden in the shimmer is black velvet,
a small room for the air to settle.
I closed the topaz lid
ever so softly to keep it inside.
It is not secure, no lock and key,
but full of memory.
Our hands beside each other,
sharing your favorite sweatshirt
ever since I could pull from your closet.
You fit in the box now,
only dust in my hands.
All precious and sparkling in the end. 01/17/2016 Posted on 01/17/2016
