there's work to be done

there

are so many loose

ends

to tie

or cut

at the end of one's

life.

so much

left

in the refrigerator,

the dryer,

the cupboards,

bills

to be sent out.

notifications

sent 

to children

and an ex-wife,

that friend

across the way.

get the broom out,

there's work

to be done.

who wants any of these

store bought

heirlooms

now.
