Junk Drawer Spirituality
Found the old New Testament
given to me in grade school,
and I always meant to read it
growing up, until I didn't,
storing it away
in a bottom dresser drawer
with some grainy pictures
I printed off the internet
when I was in high school,
leftover screws from shelves
I no longer own,
old love poems for people
I barely remember now-
all of it junk
that once had enough meaning
to be kept,
which proves our souls more
than I want to admit.
