locks on every door displaying numbers
no names or personalities, no music or kid’s steps
just the sound of all seasons rushing to escape

Well said Emu...a house is always a self-public-storing place...for a house too grows, over the years gets old, keeps within its memoirs and looks out for new hopes to add on...memoirs and hopes- some private some public...thanks...10

Excellent.My own sentiments come from within.I hesitate to throw many articles, fully knowing their obsolence and depleting usefulness, only considering their emotional values.My museum comprises many postcards/inlands of my parents, many small articles of the children and some gifts from near and dear ones which apparently have lost their relevance.Very touching poem.

An interesting title 'public-self-storage-space'. I susposed both man and woman use to have keepsakes or just keep things for the sake of keeping them. [for sentiment or because some things are difficult from which to part.] In these mordern time most things are disposable though. I enjoyed reading such a poem with such a fresh perpective on storing away self. Thanks for sharing...a 10 I* give this delightful poem.
