Do you sometimes travel
In a muddled meditation
Down to the musty basement
Where the old ledgers are kept
The paper turning into papyrus
The history of love written
In numbers on the backs of checks
To burn or settle into compost
The smell of it brings me
Back to my senses fast
The garbage in the gut of things
We pick through suddenly
Realizing we may have
Thrown away the best
