Change

Sticky tape on stiff seams
Enclosing things
Precious and valuable
Cheap and necessary 
Box cutters
Cleaners
First the old then the new
Emptying and Filling 
Space
Ending and Beginning
Ghosts swept
Purged
Returned to rightful owners
Light now permeates 
Once piled pillows of suffocation
And too many old blankets
Sadnesses
Overgrown art now out
Air
Freedom
No more intertwined desolation
Liberation
No more lies
Blown out the open sweet windows of
Home
