A Troll in My Trunk
(Inspired by the YouTube video ‘A Monkey in your Trunk’)


Ok! Some crazy person made a YouTube video, about a monkey in your trunk.
Yep, my Trolls saw it, on their new cell phones. Now, Who would of thunk?
Honestly! I tried to take...

old trunk in attic
baby shoes, a wedding dress
wrapped in tissue and in tears
time gone forever
no-one remembers it now
memories sold at auction

At age ten, I found a trunk in the attic
full of leather-bound books and tied up comics.
Luckily they weren't dusty; I'm asthmatic,
dad scored them cheap base on street economics
but my recall’s somewhat melodramatic.
But for years, leery of Russian atomics
I would hide in the attic; my...

The elephant’s trunk faces the door
Good fortune, good fortune
Ever more
Her beauty is timeless 
even with age
and his stately manner
will always engage
Slowly she bends 
to move his chair
and straighten his legs
and brush his hair
He coughs with eyes closed
breath ragged and thin
barely audible
asks why him?
She has firm...

I woke this morn a chilling sweat alarmed 
No recollection of the night before 
The sheets were drenched and mixed in beading blood 
That's when I heard the knocking at the door 

I sauntered to the front glint through the drapes 
Am startled by a...

I am not that person
I was not that person
I may never be that person
for
that person is me
unfree
hiding inside an old
gutted-out tree

The attic trunk, dirty, and oh so old
Had survived the many years untold
Sitting there midst the quiet dust
The hasp and hinges brown with rust

In the young girls’ mind she was compelled
To see what it was the old trunk held
Her desire to glimpse into the past
Was...

tiny acorns grew
shady oaks thick foliage blew....

Eight boys, toddlers, some on the verge of those teen years
Play together with the trunk as the center 

Unfinished
Thoughts still running around/ don't know exactly how this will work out...

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....

There is a loo in south Baku
Where local dogs wait in a queue
They all go Dutch
Yet drink too much
They can’t resist a homemade brew.

I’d hate to be a pachyderm,
My schnozzle such a wacky worm
That though I willed it slack or firm,
Each sneeze would really pack a squirm!...

The old lady down the street has passed
and left no one they could call around;
except her old cat she called Miss Sass
It will take looking before she's found.

Her friend decided on a yard sale.
Mostly junk will be all we will find:
a worn garden spade and...

I think I lost it...
Has anyone seen my mind?
Must of wandered off...

I'll check lost and found
The last time I lost my mind
It played hide and seek

I last found my mind
Hold up in an old Junk Trunk
Sorting memories...

A box of clutter
Relics that remain after
We've faded away......

I try to walk very gently through a field filled with wildflowers
Not crushing them under my feet takes a short walk many hours
On hot days I flap my ears over them to give out a slight breeze
If not for me they would dry up for...
