The Dropbox
DROPBOX
brushing off dust and dirt
the dirge of one
the scourge of silent face
courage?
...she wailed
as many had done
wrapped in an old towel
...back to work
after her deposit,
in the cradle of a wall
sealed envelope of fate
hands retrieve
the unwanted matter
shushing the orphaned child,
adopted by systematic embrace
without a paper trail
heaven’s sentry guards the forgotten
saved by the dropbox.
