Artifacts

Richard Schnap

The basement of my apartment building
Holds things that old tenants left behind

The diary of a deceased spinster
That spent her prom night in a church

Recordings of famous dance songs
Owned by a paraplegic man

A scrapbook of newspaper clippings
A barren woman made of new births

And the sketches of a boy whose parents
Would fight almost every night

Of the landscape of a distant planet
Under new constellations of stars
