Dresser Drawers

Stuff the past
into the ugly socks
hidden
at the bottom
of your dresser.

Only pull them out
when you need
to be reminded
what you're fighting for.

Let years
coat the carpet
with fuzz,
but don't let time
wear holes
in the heels--
memories
have a way of slipping
through the cracks
and the world
always notices
the dust bunnies first.
