Everything I Made
early 90s
“There is nothing left to keep me here,” he said.
“I have lost more than I knew I had to lose.
I would take my grandfather’s clock
to keep it safe for whoever is to love it next,
but I will go without it if I must.
It is a fair trade for my life.
All I was given becomes a story I will tell by firelight.
Everything I made, I can make again.”
