everything is everywhere

everything is
everywhere.
i can see that 
from the door.
to the ceiling, spread
out on each floor.
the death of an ancient
loved one
and suddenly there are
seven clocks, 
more art than the walls
can hold. vases enough 
to break one per day. 
all of it has felt your touch, 
your hands, your fingers 
each with some dusty
memory attached,
but it does nothing 
for you, not even 
the flush bank account
matters. no exotic travel
will bring them back, 
no car, no dress, 
no lavish meal, 
or piece of gold 
can save the heart 
from missing.
