sorting things out

Sorting out old family things
deciding what to keep
and what not

Why

do emotions
overrun
rational sense
out of the
blue

sky

Where are all these
tears stored during dry times

As long as you keep
your head
bend backward
far enough
you don't
need plastic surgery

Life is good as long as you keep these damn vines trimmed back.

I am looking for my petals but all I can find are
strands of thin grey hair
