Gale


to take apart
what remains
of a coherent life

is to decide
which stillness
could contain
your fluency


the many things
that you’ve made
and collected
like scattered
emotional centers

you arranged them
as if you were
feeding them
with memory


these artifacts


these footprints of
a life of
meaning how
to dismantle
            it all
            after
            you
            go.
