Dismantling
We stripped the closets, gave the clothes away.
A lifetime’s worth of books came off the shelves.
The college came and packed up all the art.
Today we box up years of memories,
our own and hers, disperse some, send others
homeless into an unfriendly world.

Love “send others/ homeless into an unfriendly world”: yesterday I heard that a local library in Westchester County does not even accept book donations anymore. but later in the day I saw boxloads being carried into the Argosy Book Store.
The title drew me in. I can see it all.
