Throwaway Lines
I'll lose some things I do not need:
that tag, these toys, this plaited lead.
I'll ditch some things I cannot use:
that dish, those cans, these rawhide chews.
I'll dump some things that make me weep:
those bones, this basket full of sleep--
and I'd bin this ache inside my chest
if I could bag it with the rest.
(M. A Griffiths)
