A girl named Luna

is telling me

to go to the door,

that a package is waiting.


It sits atop the mat clothed in

boring brown. I take it inside

and she asks if I know


what it is. I tell her, I do not.

I set it on the kitchen table

and begin its autopsy.


Cutting along the packing tape

I soon pry its chest apart.

My hands reach inside-


who would have remembered?

who could have known?

Even time had forgot.
