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.

Arastu Goyal Date: 8/7/2023 10:18:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Terry Miller Date: 8/8/2023 7:47:00 AM 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.
