Shovel

Walking away,
putting you from my mind
          a shoebox of letters
Shovel. Backyard.
Crisis averted.

Walking away,
putting you from my mind...
         an old sweater
Applebox. Lid. Shovel. Backyard

Walking away,
putting you from my mind...
        the black guitar
Hammer. Saw. Potatoe box. Shovel. Backyard

Walking away
putting you from my mind...
        memories that itch
Casket. Measruing tape. Six feet. Shovel. Backyard
