...



keep me up, higher, higher until
i belong to a pedestal, admired
yet forsaken, maybe unreal


keep me singing, like a lady
singing beautifully, yet hidden
inside that tiny victorian music machine


keep me still, a statue
of endless and directionless stares
dressed to perfection, yet unable to move


keep me away, closely away until
time comes for a garage sale
and you're ready to move on.

i loved the ending, the way that it validated the worldview of the previous three stanzas and simultaneously relegated it to the realm of the distant past...something hopefully forgotten, or rather supplanted by a more realistic view of relationships...nice job, poet.
