Brown Bag Bundle For A Broken Heart Poem by Susan Lacovara

Brown Bag Bundle For A Broken Heart

Rating: 5.0


What was left me
A brown paper bag
It's contents hardly
The relics of Kings
It worth to tip no scales

Folded maps of New York City streets
He knew I poorly navigated
Patches from a union job
To stitch unto a denim sleeve
A prayer card from the Trinity Church
Near the site of 9/11
A sand dollar shaped clock
That required two AA batteries
And CD of Alpine sounds

A treasure trove to touch my hurting heart

Fragments inherited may be small or tiny are precious than any diamond we owned later of our life.
