letters lie crumpled
when will you read them again?
open tiny tin locket

way back in chest of drawers
warm? among the socks and scarves...

Hidden message without words
Sealed with a ribbon
And saved in a wood drawer

Light work?
Give to granddad
The bits drawer will help him

If no cure, use black tape
Strap it down hard
All done!...

No longer bars
Who/what  did I fear?
To stir a tear?

Can't live trapped in drawer!
Searching out peace
Time to release!...

Left in the right chest drawer 
Announced the break up
Perfumed with sweet aroma
In a mysterious night

Missing you as I

touch small things you left behind

when I find in your drawer

my last gift to you -

the watch you had vowed to wear

while you were away from me.
