her poetry box

she brings
me
her poetry in a small wooden
box.
flowered
red and yellow.
with silver hinges.
a clasp
to keep it closed.
she carries it with two
hands
and presents it to me
as if
there are secrets within,
her story,
not told.
i tell her no.
i don't want to end things
this way.
please,
take it home.
