the lover's cross

keep your
books,
all of them, even the ones
you don't like.
keep
your old shoes
and sweaters.
reminders of who
you were,
who you still are.
keep,
your memories in a box.
pictures
and small
things. but
don't keep everything,
just a few
touchstones
found along the way,
reminders
of a different day,
but don't put yourself
up
on a lover's cross.
