The Ethiopian

One
Sweater. A book. Pop
Strewn amongst blue plastic bags
What happened to him?

Two
Gone like dusty snow
Will he return tomorrow?
Or, absorbed, no trace.

Three
Scattered here, a life
Remnants: the parts that remain
A ghost, haunting me

Four
A man bearing… what?
Bible remains. Faith gone too?
What else is missing?
