I have lived in small spaces before.
Newlywed apartment, the
postage-stamp house we built in stages
while we sponged off my husband's folks
for 15 months. I know, because his dad kept track.
Lacking beds, we slept on mats in India,
wall-to-wall Westerners contending
with culture, climate, curries so hot
they burned the tongue. No longer young,
this move from too-big house to
small apartment means hard choices must
be made. Prioritize our property
as Keep or Store, Sell or Give Away. More
items than a person needs, I'll weed
things out, wade through the closets
and the drawers, then pack the boxes,
labeling my life Heavy.
This end up. Fragile!
Do Not Crush.
