On Tuesday there came
a package, addressed
to some one who did not
live in the building any more

it was blue and small
it whirred in the hand
and gave off heat

inside (i dared to open
it because no one else would)

it contained:

  a mysterious
  glass heart

a pound of fudge

a note in an illegible hand

a blurred and inexpressive
  photograph


the mysterious box
boggled my mind

i wondered what it
could mean.  a few days
later, the cat was missing
and the postman had died.
