Kim Van Breda Poet Personification

You Are What You Keep

YOU ARE WHAT YOU KEEP

Let it go. The blackness
the blueness the redness
construe less. Drop things 
too heavy to lift. Clear 
dark bureaus untidy 
bits

Starving
dreams deplete sleep. Let
worldlings murmur their
blurb. Lightning quirks on
high alert. In this great 
Texan delicatessen
you are what
you keep
