Chest of Drawers

Chest of Drawers

 

Last year on Saturday, I buy her chest

of drawers unassembled. The blueprint muse

describes, details, diagrams, draws -- so few

mistakes are made -- the metal-ware, compressed

and treated chipped-wood, paper backing board,

I organize on kitchen tile in neat

platoons like soldiers. Snap-locked, hammer beat

it sits beside our lumpy bed and hordes

a life of platitudes her folded clothes,

her cotton tee-shirts, blue-jeans, underwear

that traded in and out still bear the scents

of mothballed, childhood, attic fashion-shows.

It cabinets costumes, jewels, and hats she wears

outgrown like love and other discontents.
