My pockets might hold
Ink stains,
Food remains,
Dust balls,
Odd balls,
Random coins,
Knee joints,
House keys,
Dead bees,
Pocket knives,
Half-chewed chives,
One handkerchief,
Oft lost to the hanky thief,
Two bills,
Three rupees,
Four spiders
Five types of cheese
Six unmatched cards,
Seven leaves
Eight crumbs of dinner
Nine peas
And ten ways to hell.
But usually
It just holds
My heart.
Janet Orlene
