Holidays as options

I finished your alimony 

and packed your clothes

Bagged up the goldfish

and asked you to stay.

I spent the first year raking leaves, all year. 

I used a shovel.

I buried the hatchet,

and dug it up on Thanksgiving.

I wonder if we fossilize.

Or if memories do,

or if they hide behind rocks

casting shadows half the day.

I waited for a full moon and made a wish on a bone.

Buried it and prayed for rain.

The past looks like the future sometimes.

That's courage calling you forward.

I like this part :)
Usually they do isn't it... the memories kind of casts shadows on our days...

You always have a bit of humor to your work that's nice... :))
