So much junk was found
in the weird widow's house.
It took two days to clean it out.
How about this tiny vase?
asked one of the estate clearence guys.
It's a bit skew, like melting
in my hand,
stripes refusing to align.
Can it still smell the scent
of the liquids it has contained?
It's an 80's IKEA item
that can sell for two bucks
or three in our flea market,
not worth the bother,
said his colleague.
No, it's too rough, surely
made by a child or old one
with shaky thumbs,
just throw it, speed up,
said the estate clearence boss.
I haven't learned yet
the rule of crookedness,
sometimes it signifies fine art
and sometimes the work of a child.
I just feel the
wry whisper of this vase
screaming so loud,
thought the estate clearence guy
while walking to the garbage pile.
Surrounded by marmelade jars
and hangover whiskey glass
broke the 1st century
Roman perfume bottle
and it's rose petal heart.
