Layers of Tape
by Joanne Faries
like tree rings
reveal holiday years
attic haul down the ladder
knife slash to open
treasured memories
happy new year return to the faded box
screech of tape wheel adds new layer
but I can still make out my late mother's writing
wishing me a Merry Christmas
long ago
Lovely, Joanne.
ReplyDeleteWe've got builders in our loft at the moment, so I've got everything in my dining room - it's not good, just before Christmas though :-(
Isn't it nice to read letters and cards from loved ones who are no longer with us?
