cleaning out
the time has finally come
to clean out years of bits and pieces,
all those might be useful things,
empty butter tubs, never used coffee grinder,
bargains from the discount store
and four white and yellow mugs,
and so much more.
there in the clutter, things to keep.
an earth-colored pot I made,
a flask of Sake given by a once
but remembered friend,
a set of four red soup bowls
recall a joyful meal long ago
and so much more.
some things are thrown
some are kept for their worth
and some for the stories they hold.

My Fung Shui is off-balance right now, mainly because I tend to get too attached to the objects that link me to the memories. You've expressed that beautifully, Jack!
