=====================

I’m not enjoying packing up my house.
Picking up each item
Things acquired over the years
And assigning it worth:
Keep, trash or sell?

Each bit rehashing memories.
Where did I get this?
Why?
From whom?

Memories of the ex coming flooding back.
Things bought in moments of happiness
Before the fall
And descent into hell.
Gifts given out of love
Before the anger
And insanity.

These items have their own treatment.
They get a box and are thrown
Sold
Or given away
NEVER to be kept
No matter how much I may wish
To hold on
