Carry many things.
Some useful —
wallet, phone,
grocery cart loonie,
a comb.
Some special —
copper penny,
feather, pebble,
a memory
so tender — but tangled
with a grief too heavy
for a pocket to hold
without a
bulging, tearing
falling out or apart
so the
pocket is stitched,
patched, reinforced.
A memory pocket full
(with grief)
is still better than
one that is
empty.
