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
Queer 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
