Notes About The Poem

Unreceived Parcel

Unreceived  Parcel

I have sent your parcel Please be patient  
Your curtain hooks have been sent 
It's on its way
Yes sir, I have sent it 
I will make a special deliver 
Through the dark forces of night 
In horse and cart 
Await me at 2 am tonight 
Leave the window slightly ajar 
I will ring three chimes on my arrival 
With your special delivery 
Slide open the window 
Look down You will see me standing there with your parcel 
Slowly on your toes  
Push forward and slide out the window 
Reach for me 
Then you will have your parcel  
I will have delivered the goods 
Your wife will have curtain hooks to hang the curtains  
Then your curtains will be closed forever 
I will place roses on your grave 
Sending you a graceful goodbye 
Delivering, your unreceived goods
