The unmarked postage stamp.
Sent awhile ago from Eureka
down to Melbourne on a letter
addressed to no one,
or someone no one should know.
They were white with no words
and a mind so blank, de-pressed
it hangs on thin to ink.
This no one is a hard one
working with the machines
that are his scarred hands.
He waits with work
on his boots at a counter
made for someone more deserving.
Too many days were sent
without acceptance, without
enveloped rays of sun, that
when he sees the marked stamp,
he can't help but cry
while the world shifts priority.
