No need to take old things to a new house

The bunk bed slept on by small kids of two generations, scarred and wobbly and plastered with stickers Letters from my mom--sad ones detailing her decline A plant from a funeral My majorette jacket from proud, high-stepping days The view ahead is astonishing, and I can't scale the peak if I keep glancing back wistfully into the green valley. Also, there's that pillar-of-salt risk. I'll just keep moving, lighter now.
