A garbage can

[dragonqueen]

Thanks to my friend for the idea...

 

A garbage can

Is a

Museum.

It showcases

Broken remnants

Of our lives.

Discarded thoughtlessly, recklessly.

Buried beneath

Layers of filth,

And pieces

Of other

Lives.

‘Till careful hands,

Sifting through,

Uncover them.

Each piece

Tells a story.

Of a life

Lost

Long ago.

Shattered remains

Of our lives.

[Kalypso]

I've never thought about a garbage can like that until I read your poem. I like the concept, quite unique.
