collect the frozen bodies
in the morning.
a truck
comes by
and takes them off the street.
it was too
unkind
to do it before
they died.
the mayor has
chosen to give
the mentally ill their
dignity,
to choose on which
curb to reside
when the Arctic frost
blows in.
no flowers
will attend,
no words said.
no final goodbyes.
