Things Found In a Dragons Nest
Teddy Bear regrets left out in the rain for good.
All that collects in a corner of a neglected life.
A father’s tobacco tin where a Swiss Army knife
sharpens itself.
A novelty pen, turn it upside down, the clothes fall off
a lady inside - but no longer.
A chrome implement for opening cans of worms.
Broken struts and beam for building fledgling affairs.
Old love-letters masquerading as moths.
The dragon accumulates;
it’s nest a horde of collateral waste,
but like all those of its kind
it loves the hopelessly lost.
