Stashed Away With Your Prized Accoutrements

Consider

the secret stories

you carry with you

how much do they weigh

what kind of pencils

are required

to keep them colored in

are they hazy or precise

do they comfort

or slice

unapologetically

& emphatically yours

to have & to hold

forever in your belly

unless you write them out
