to accumulate money, food, or the like, in a hidden or carefully guarded place for preservation, future use, etc. (Dictionary.com)

I sit
alone with myself
in the lightening darkness
and add
to my hoard
The little book
vade mecum
tiny
purple
bulging
by my side
I hide
I squirrel away
my stash
my ever growing
hoard
of words
of short quotes
irrelevant relativity
that warms
my brain
and chases away
the dreary gloom
from the corners
of my world
