Circumferance

I opened the cardbox package she sent
a jack in the box after five years of severance
and the past
tumbled onto my pretty morning
 dubiousness spilled on the care-free
giddy-making
 my reconnaissance of memories
wished buried
held too strong to sweep off with
mindlessness and absolution grace

Was it an omen, an evil eye, a reminder or
an amulet to hold optioning the future
endeavors?

Labels, schedule and location
search's topography and the dam
held
