A Collection of Slumbers

A Collection of Slumbers

 

Sometimes it is best

to consign

certain treasures

to secret drawers …

words ..

books ..

sacred artefacts

twigs

strips of old linen

and memories

of past lovers even …

Then leave them  

to gather dust

and a fine age patina

but never

ever forget them

and when you

need to feel a pulse

show them sunlight …

Until then tho’

let them sleep

in contented oblivion …
