Uninformed Guest

Uninformed Guest I heard a knock on my door Rushed out to see my uninformed guest But saw the glistening shadows of my potted palms Pansies and colourful gerberas wafting in the wind About to shut the door I saw a huddled girl In the corner of my front courtyard ***** but not weird in my country Baffled if she was a runway Or suffering from hunger, forced labour or abused Shrivelled and soaked I brought her in- gave her the outgrown wear of my daughter- Offered her hot chocolate which she drank thirstily The warm food food gobbled down before a second breath Shocked and outraged at her gestures Thought it best to call the police The cordless phone still in my hand I heard a loud bang of my front door and rushed out But only saw the glistening shadows of my potted palms Pansies and colourful gerberas wafting in the wind December 20, 2015 Contest- Who Is Knocking On My Door?
