Margins

Not a single paper, not a wrapper, stub, shoebox, tag, container, cookie box or article, never intending to wear, she throws nothing away.
 
No castaways, no delusions, cares, tidbits nor morsels, not a dream, fantasy or truth, nothing gets past the gates of her need.
 
All she has touched, received, and placed on a shelf or dresser top, even dropped to the floor, never leaves her.
 
She retains everything.
 
She lives knee-deep in it, until the inevitable; they come with a shovel, mask and plastic bags to remove the amassment.
 
The long lone bedsheet melds with the mattress, unchanged so long; once the whole mattress got tossed out.
 
Not even shed skin may be shaken from her. No, no loss tolerable, nothing must abandon her, nothing left, taken, discarded, out of her control–a sacred keeping.
 
She shudders and screams in spasmodic yips and soul-shook howls in skin-ripping pain at the disturbance, the violation.
 
Skull-red circles emanate from angry, forsaken roots.
 
“Get out!! Nooooo!!! This is MY room! You can’t just come in here and throw my stuff away. I need things you are throwing away! You have no right!! My door was closed!
 
Oh? Which side of the door shuts out and which closes in?
