filing things away

I spend the day filing.

paperwork.

so much accumulates. bills,
cards and letters.

notices.
it's not unlike the leaves outside
the window
forever falling,

draping the lawn in color,
unraked.

but inside, we put things away.

the electric bill,
the water, the gas.
credit cards, reminders of
what needs to be paid.

then there's
the marriage certificate,
the divorce degree.

a Christmas card. a valentine's
greeting.

a photo of her and me.
the circular file is nearby.
