The Dead...

 

The Dead I Keep in a Box

 

At home I keep the dead in a box.

It’s more of a purse really, an antique

of my grandmother’s,

filled funeral pamphlets.

She’s in there, too—

my card catalogue for souls.

This is a very short but moving poem. I think most people
have a box for the dead or souls. I know I do, but mines
not in a box, it's in a folder. Good poem.
