an abandoned shell


The abandoned shell that lingers in the centre of the pavement;
The snail has bravely upped and left and that shell, bereft, feels
The void. It lies in wait. It will anticipate the arrival of its old
Inhabitant because, there’s no place like home. With the over-
Bearing weight of a clumsy size nine, the shell is destroyed.
