sovereign

[cogs]

today is moving day
protracted lien is paid
the title's transferred now
they've flipped their feeble tent

now visible,
his eyes show in the cracked mirror,
now steadily,
she inspects scattered, old books,
now hearkening,
he plays old records for keepers,
now adroitly,
she runs a wheelchair to rubbish

touch ups are finished on time
memories are lost in the shuffle
items too heavy are abandoned
curses are shaken and broken

now each share capable smiles -
a sturdy, new place awaits
