- Keith Banner
What to Sell, What to Keep
outside of everything else
pieces
of a place
where
half-destroyed
combines with left-alone
the only distance is what is
left to slide into
a moment
burdened by
a name
inside an envelope
when you walk beside
what isn't there anymore
you start to see
what is missing
what is terrible
what is okay
we are
in front of where
you once worked
by the way, and we are
not even upset
the last thing to do
is figure out
what to wake up for
and
what to sell
what to keep
what to simply give away
