THINGS YOU CAN STORE IN A POISON OAK BASKET:
• Trinkets the crows have robbed for you
• Poems that open paths into your soul
• Curses and knowledge of damage they’ll do
• Mementos of what’s down the memory hole
• Scratched in initials of lost but deep loves
• Visions of tattoos that were covered up
• The echoes and imprints of knocking on wood
• Overflow from efforts that were never enough
• The faith you’ll forever be misunderstood
• The hope no one else can touch all this stuff
