Pavane

by Grace Andreacchi

The remains of a child
have been found by police
in a neglected garden

The remains of a child
are thought to date
from the early 1960’s

Police have not said
whether the remains of the child
are male or female

Police have not said
how the remains of the child
came to be there

Under the black soil
of a neglected garden
Shall I tell them?
