The boxes
the room with the boxes
the stuff and papers
from before, I avoid them

I don't tolerate the dust myself
and to others I give no access
hopefully it will ever be burned
unseen with appropriate respect

I don't want to know
if I still would know
the names of my boyfriends
I have a husband

we sleep in two houses
three if I had wished so
and I just leave it that way
one shouldn't exaggerate romance

it's important to bite through
not repeat old mistakes
be mature enough
for a new life
