#NaPoWriMo-Day 15-Memories and Wishes

Posted on April 15, 2021 by Penny Wilson Writes

I keep my memories
and wishes 
tucked inside a box

The vessel
unimportant

Its what’s inside the box
that calls to me

Inside
I hear the beating
of your heart

smell your skin
and taste your lips

you 
now on wingtips

left behind

memories
nestled beside
wishes
