Little Urn

There’s a little urn on my desk


I imagine you’re inside


Crowding it with your dust


Perhaps your spirit


Or even just your memories


So I can read them like a book


You can scratch against the sides


Ripping off fingernails


You’ll never escape


You’re my source for emotion


I can remember pain when I look into you


You’re my ocean of tears


                 Waiting to cleanse me of my numbness.

I agree with Retta, this conjures up all kinds of images that the reader must draw conclusions on. Is the urn the ashes of a cruel parent, husband, lover? Is it just an empty bottle where you mentally store your emotions? Is it yesterdays Coke bottle that just happened to unleash your thoughts? No matter it set in motion a fantastic write. Well done Carrie.
