Dónall Dempsey - ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' JACK IN A BOX
1 Views • Nov 10, 2014
Description
is it?
Life's little artifacts
his life scattered
the contents of this
cardboard box
a broken
wrist watch
hands missing
a faded ribboned
...medal
an incomplete
love letter
pages 2 & 7
missing
photos
torn
tattered with time
when the world
was a sepia hue
even the box
they are in is
battered
nothing of any
great value.
So lively
all go
despite age trying
to hold him back
a regular
Jack in the Box
....buried
yesterday
no tears
no nothing
nothing remaing
of his time
except this
bric a brac
knocking about
in an old shoe box
about to be
...binned.
