Shut Up Drawers


In shut up drawers I keep memories of you; 
like some keep letters and other hidden things, 
they open rawly like bone and other white things. 

Cigarettes, loose pearls an old kid glove, I browse 
through them when I feel most alone; 
feel raw like bone, 
like Christmas and snow in Virginia 
and other white things. 

In shut up drawers I keep memories of you; 
like some keep letters and other hidden things. 
In every one it is Christmas 
with an enormous tree and a thousand lights 
like snow in Virginia 
lightly sprinkled over moss. 
I browse through them when I feel most alone; 
feel raw like bone, 
like Christmas and snow in Virginia 
and other white things.
