Dried Corsages" ~Dusty
tissue-shrouded the last things laid into the crate atop the diaries atop the poems atop the yearbooks the detritus of adolescence. The lid clicks coffinlike embalming my youth in melancholy anticipation. Last day of leave last day of girlhood last day of certitude last day of luxuriant revokable errors. First plane ride first farewell first overseas tour first peek into womanhood's abyss. The crumpled duffel awaits decisions I can't make. What do you pack to take to a war?
