the lost and found

the lost and found
bin holds
single gloves,
black leather,
or white with little
rhinestones,
glasses,
umbrellas, blue
and yellow,
some with curled
handles.
handbags
and hats, scarves
made of silk,
or wool. all
things left
behind in the dark
as the movie
ended
and you rose
to leave,
stepping out
into the cold
empty handed.
and when you
return the next day
the young boy
looks at you
suspiciously guarding
this tomb
of lost things,
protecting
what's been lost,
less worried about
cold hands,
blurred eyes,
or heads
that feel
the frost,dutiful
in his job.
