A rengay by an American friend and I.

Dust Covered Clock

 

curio shop

a Jack in the box

ready to pounce

 

what’s one more

tarnished silver spoon

 

in a dark corner

the taxidermist’s

laboured smile

 

looking for love

a vintage teddy        

with a torn ear

 

questions ring out about 

the vase’s provenance 

 

still on the shelf

a dust-covered clock

that lost its chime
