the house in order

all things are in order.
the house is clean.
the bills are paid.
the bed made.
the dog is walked.
the windows
have been wiped.
the dust is gone.
not a cobweb is found
anywhere in any room.
even the attic
where the memories
were stored
is spotless, not a box,
not a picture framed,
not an old rusted sword.
no trinkets, no nick knacks,
no photos or
rings. no shoes left behind,
no clothes on a hanger,
no strings attached
anymore.
all things
must pass.
the trash pick up
is on Monday.
there is little left
to haul to the curb,
no bitter reminders,
at last. a joy to behold.
