have a metal box tucked
away
somewhere, locked
tight
by combination.
stored
in a closet,
or cellar, or tucked
beneath a bed
with secrets stashed
within.
there might be a stack
of money
in there, gold coins,
a will perhaps,
stocks and bonds,
a pistol,
certificates of importance,
letters
received or not sent.
there are pictures too.
mementos.
touchstones, if you may.
sadly though,
there's nothing saved
regarding you.
