Not Enough

These are boxes where all

of one's memory 

is unfit to store.


I saw men with paint brushes, 

hammer, chisel, and some garment,

placed inside the box.


I saw rows of boxes 

all painted white, with curves,

shaped like flowers on wood.


They affixed handles, 

some of plain wood, 

others of gold.


No matter the finish,

the curves, and the shine

of silver or gold


The box is not enough to fit

for all the memories to store.
