The Box
Put me in a box and place it on a shelf
Back in the deepest corner of the closet
Somewhere between the wool sweaters and the photo albums
Take me down once a year when you are alone
We can make love if you like or just drink tea
When the conversation begins to drag ,
Just put me back in the box and place it on the shelf
It will be our little secret
from “Letters to an Angel”,
Samuel DiPaola (1997)
