Onward

 

More things
in the house than boxes—
marked-up calendar.

A last look at old treasures...   /jt
choosing what things to pack.

I close the door—
in my hand the paper
of a new address.

Tidy cupboards—
each fruit can on the shelf
facing outward.

Apple sauce on toast—   /vs
the kids avoid my eyes.

Farmers market—
under stalls a boy looks for
other life forms.
