Saying Goodbye
The storage unit is pitch black.
The boxes
are stacked right where we left them. I kick one with my shoe
and wonder what I’m going to do with these boxes
once I get them home. There will be new
piles of boxes
in our basement. I’d rather have you
back than all these memories stuffed into boxes.
