vacant

everything gone
my room is bare
drawers are emptied
walls blank
shelves vacant

the floor is visible once again
everything once littered now shoved into tiny dresser spaces

stacks of books stuffed into tiny boxes
to be shipped off to anywhere
no longer here to hold me down

let go of the past
part with those useless trinkets of past lovers
friends
family

make room for new junk
future lovers
friends
family
will give to you

my room is empty
my room is bare
and i look forward to the coming year
in which to fill it with new sentimental possessions
that cover all
from love to hate
from joy to sorrow

then in more year it will all be emptied again
to make room for new memories
