beside another innocuous pile of papers.
removed from the file drawer sometime ago for the sake of ……..what was it? ~sorting?
getting rid of old statements?
Papers connecting and collecting each month and each year……
the desk top not seen for at least two months, save for an edge or a corner or two.
So with finality, one paper or page ~ one file folder or old envelope
swept decisively in recycling or trash.
(Clutter can be filed neatly or disposed of.)
All the pieces of this one life connect in these files and memories,
yet another link in the memory and reality chain are years of photographs stores in boxes, suitcases, albums and in e-files - impossible to sort and file but lovely for a good, long browse.

a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
