I found a find
In a dusty shop
Among the possessions
Of victims' tears
Someone, somewhere
Lost all they owned
When bailiffs came
Stripping them bare
Here's a photograph
Dark lacquer coated
Pressed on melainotype
Cast into time
I found a find

Of victims' tears

Dark lacquer coated
Pressed on melainotype
Cast into time
I thought a thought
Saw in my mind
A bad reproduction
