They were there a long time 

in folders

my poets and writers

their work, their lives, their thoughts

and when I'd done compiling and thanking

I deleted them, the folders

to add new ones

but then, I had forgotten a detail

and I clicked Control plus Z, the reverse shortcut keys

and there they were back again

in folders

my poets and writers

their works, their lives, their thoughts

How I wish there were some reverse shortcut keys

to bring back 

all the loved ones I've lost.
