there’s an attic
in my mind
my thoughts
organized into
cardboard boxes
wrapped up in twine
i untie
open
unleash ancient
artifacts
memories
are these mine
or did i mislabel
my box of dreams
cross out ‘memories’
take my sharpie
write all lies to
me

The attic metaphor is wonderful-it is definitely how I think of how things are arranged in my mind, and there are definitely boxes in there that I would be afraid to open.
