Not mine
A casket.
A lacquered box
Scattered with your ashes.
Your jewellery.
I pick up the bracelet
And put it around my neck
And turn the catch,
Around,
And around.
I replace it quickly
And slam the lid,
On memories,
That aren't even mine.
And I take out that little Chinese lock,
Hidden in the Turkish pot,
On the window sill.
And I slide the keeper in
To do my job
For me
Because I can't handle the responsibility any more
