BOXING DAY

A



Gathering up the darkness,
Carrying it with tentative hands,
Dropping it into box
After box,
Pushing it down
To make room
For more of same--
Depressed moments,
angry outbursts,
Tearful farewells,
Recognitions of regret,
Layers deep,
Compressed until it all fits
Inside worldproof walls,
Secured by titanium tape.
In big black letters, I write:
FORGIVE
And
FORGET
