colligate

a button 
a pen
a picture of two
a ticket stub from
a museum
visited on a rainy day
a pillowcase
an unmatched sock
for a foot
far bigger than mine
a grocery list
memories all
colligate by virtue
of having once been
part of you
part of us
treasures or trash
I cannot say
but for today
I pack them away
back in the heart of me
holding them safe
awaiting another rainy day
