Secret Messages
She emptied her heart.
Wrote all her secrets on little
slips of paper and put them in
old glass bottles she found
buried in her garden.
She carried them, in a cardboard box,
to the sea where she set them free –
a flotilla of her deepest thoughts, her
fears, her longings. All the things she
could no longer hold. She waved goodbye
as they bobbed away with the tide and
made a wish that whoever finds them
will know what to do with them.
