NOTICE OF EVICTION

You need to move out

Pick up your stuff,

Dust the corners of my heart.

You need to move out

Sweep the floor,

Take your writings off the wall.

You need to move out

Clear out the space,

Leave absolutely no trace.

You need to move out

So my quiescent heart

Learns to love again.

The Hurt

MEMENTO

Throughout the years we’ve kept:

Tickets to concerts

Stubs from movies

Prize toys from cereal boxes

Notes scribbled

Books swapped

CDs burned

I don’t know what we were thinking.

Now that we’re apart

I have all of your stuff.

I asked you, should I return it?

You said, hold on to it.

Then added,

It’s a reason for us to see each other again.

The last time we talked

We mentioned these mementos—

Things that were not ours but in our possession.

I lost your book, you said.

I have your favorite movie, I claimed.

Keep it, you concluded.

Somehow keeping it

Wasn’t as comforting

As holding on to it

So we can see each other again.
