Squaring The Past

March 06, 2014 by Taylor Gray in Poetry

Clearing the attic
Casting away
Lightening the load
Making the way
Deciding the keepers
Packing them well
Donating the rest
Declining to sell
Spurring memories
Processing once more
Smiling at many
Ignoring the bores
Healing some hurts
Ridding bad ballast
Gearing the future
Squaring the past
