as if I had washed up here
among pencil & rock, drift stick, lots
of paper, book, old face, friend
long dead…coins, my copper &
beryl, wood & tape, my fluttering
leaves of business cards, broken
rulers & painful shoes, to you
I bequeath all this—perfectly
bereft, harmless, for you,
to sift through the silence
of these pieces—
good luck
