the tombs

she carried them everywhere
she went.
the places
she was sent to by the choice
of others.
having worn out her welcome.
the boxes.
dust laden tombs
of pets that she regarded
as saints.
the names engraved
in gold letters.
on her desk they would go.
nearly in tears
each day when seeing them,
still not understanding
what true is love is.
