Miscellaneous
By Eve Chancellor
two black pens a yellow highlighter
without the lid
an unpublished manuscript
two packets of sertraline
a cheap shaving razor
and band-aids
a used condom
a cheeky cigarette
my old debit card
eleven euros in change
a dozen ghosts a childhood friend
a one-way flight ticket to Australia
a Canadian visa
wasted days misplaced hours
a letter of apology
my mother’s maiden name
an umbrella
left on the train
a human heart broken
beating
