Found Art

A stack of celluloid prints strewn in the street

Slowly coming undone

The top naked woman in an earthen room with a skylight

The roundness she mimics with her hands

And again with her breasts

In black and white

How tasteful it all was until she found her way to the street

Recently, since there were no tire marks

And I had to consider if it was intentional or chance that she was there

A careless photographer?

Or jilted lover exiting the contents from their home?

I took her with me

I wonder if she’ll be missed
