Frail hinges pivot On a case's door Commemorative Souvenirs from places Containers change with occasion Cellophane encased Displaying paper Certificate Credit years of service A tool of central enterprises The early hope For permanence The words the rings Consistency And Social security The miracles high tragedy A thought mistaken for a memory Dress lengths a*sa*sinations Fractured family ties and christenings Local posts will list your friends In order of disappearance Lawn scattered tins feed birds The portion baked For absent guests The ma*s edition icon God sent comfort Your salvation But who grants absolution For sins that never were committed Tension makes a tangle Of each thought becomes Inconvenience Sound never penetrates The servile edges break and faint A thought mistaken for a memory Clear the dust From smiles in boxes Pa*s the patterned wall Recall their voices.
