As tempting as it was to keep driving north to Canada while in Minnesota yesterday, it’s good to be home

What I Was Worth

Bury me under the roots with the letters I never could finish.
Lay at my shoulder the cardigan, ragged with holes in its elbows.
Give me the library card with its promise of somewhere to wander.
Leave me the photograph blurred by the thumb of the person who loved me.

Bring me the stone that I carried for luck through the worst of the winter.
Nothing of silver or gold could have kept me from wanting to linger.
Spare me the sermons and give me the key to my house with its garden.
All of the things that I leave are the proof I was here for a moment.
