Unused domestic items, relegated to the garage
clutter shelves, collecting dust
and spider webs, purpose misplaced.
Sticky wok. Pinwheel remains. A feral
Barbie with ratty hair. Bits of sidewalk
chalk, now just powdery remnants of our
lives as foster parents.
Old flowerpots and tattered cloth grocery bags.
Awards from a growing career.
Metal footlocker sheltering a Korean War era
Marine uniform and medals.
Bits and pieces of our lives. Our family
history. Us.
