"Things Found In Walls - And Other Hidden Findings"
-----She was found in a garden
Her blue eyes and porcelain skin so still
So scary
So peaceful
What had she done to belong there?
Or maybe she was lost?
Had she fallen and become part of the earth when nobody cared?
Maybe she belonged to a rich girl, who left her behind at a party, not giving a thought to the missing piece of her toy menagerie.
Maybe she belonged to the neighbor, whose brother played a trick on her and hid her.. only to have the breeze blow her away.
Or maybe a girl, a small girl who lived in the streets, misplaced her when she was moving from shack to shack. She now mourns for her beloved bleached beauty, as she once held her close to her heart.
But she is no more.
Who knows where she hides now.
