Displaced object
lost in glassware
among single saucers
secrets, sighs
abandoned by parents
abandoned by parents
lovers, lies
none to cherish
backlit hair, soft eyes
Would you like a bag,
a receipt for non-belonging?
a receipt for non-belonging?
Thanks, no.
Rain in the parking lot
drops hot with tears

I like to collect vintage carte de visites of interesting or striking people, so it was no surprise in Goodwill this week when this lovely caught my eye. It felt it so tragic that she was not proudly displayed on a shelf or in an album as someone's treasured possession. Tears burned my eyes, as I tucked her under my arm and headed toward the cash register. She has a home at Willow Manor now.
