MARK A. FISHER
another box

within a wooden coffer
hidden away in a dark closet
are memories of childhood
mementos in string and stone
tossed in with effigies of gods
and lost loves
with the colors leeched away
to pool like wax
in the bottom of the box
where passions have burnt away
illusions
casting harsh light
onto dreams
which have sublimated
into a vapor
of hope
to drift away
if the box
is ever opened
