I put my toys in boxes
Push them to the door
The big blue house is empty
Ruthie waves me forward
I put my books in boxes
Push them to the door
The little house is empty
Rebecca waves me forward
I put my life in boxes
Push them to the door
The duplex half is empty
Mother waves me forward
I put my mind in boxes
Push them to the door
The small blue house is empty
K3 waves me forward
I put my heart in boxes
Push them to the door
The big flat house is empty
Lydia waves me forward
I put my soul in boxes
Push them to the door
Gran's condo is empty
Tonka waves me forward
I put my thoughts in boxes
Push them to the door
The creamy house is empty
Laurel trees wave me forward
I put memories in boxes
Push them to the door
The big brick house is empty
And so am I
All of me in boxes
Push them to the door
Put the boxes in my chest
Before they leave the floor.
