Trunk

It stood there, the trunk oddly on its end; dust lay testament to its untouched years of keeping the past. The lid, now a door, which, should it open, would spill out secrets. No need to dig deep, rummage, discover; stuff would come tumbling; the unstoppable detritus of life, no longer hidden.

I like it, this is good stuff. I interpret from this, Satisfaction, being satisfied, not wanting for more. I hope that is what you meant. -AG

It is open to interpretation, but it could be satisfaction, but with some of the past locked away, but it would not take much for it to be exposed. Thank you for your visit. Stay well.
