old is new

dingy basement, full of treasures

stolen memories neatly bound

in dirty boxes, covered in burnt fairytales

cleaning, sorting, sifting

piles of this and those

once forgotten newly found

beneath the layers of old

that which once was

is quite new again

thought lost found

the light trickles in

tickling the dusty remnants of

all thats left behind

wash, rinse, repeat
