Notes About The Poem

In the Attic Waiting

                 in the attic of an abandoned house
          was found a very old trunk, locked
thinking it held treasure it was opened by force
    and inside lay the skeleton of a child ... curled up
        wearing a mouldy taffeta dress with faded lace
whispering-  all I wanted was to play hide and seek
