A Speck of Cruelty (a true story about a dear old neighbour of mine)
One tiny story
One tiny life
Not picked up on any radar
Or satellite
Not even
A marking in a road
Or unfortunately
No CCTV
Old Ray’s tools were stolen
From his ransacked allotment
Leaving
Very little of him left .
One tiny moment
One tiny heartless mind
Just started to bury him
Further
And further
In the ground
