Where lost things go
28 days ago
In that dark hall of heaven
where umbrellas go to roost,
single socks line the threshold,
magenta pink, blue, grey and gold.
Sunhats deck the awning,
mobiles hang in droves;
raincoats speckle the morning,
alongside slews of discarded clothes.
Lost keys dangle in mourning
for their locked-out owners rage;
memory sticks glitter forlornly
in a forgotten memory glade.
The angels stretch out yawning;
eye the assorted treasure;
flip through it as day is dawning,
in their infinite moments of leisure.
As frantic owners cry out
to the blissful heavens above-
it must be here, where can it be?
Have you seen it? Truthfully?
How can I live without...?
