Key Elegies

By LA Felleman

 

Jumble drawer puzzle

you turned and opened

I wish I could recall what

Were they important

those objects you secured?

Have I left them vulnerable

or locked away

never to be seen by me again?

Forgive me key to

something or other

for my failing to recognize

I make this promise

to hold on to you

Perhaps I will remember yet

your identity

in time
