Who cleans the bodies of the homeless

Who cleans the bodies of the homeless

A Poem by A. F. Carrera

Who scrapes the smears off the sidewalk
When someone reaches for the flowers on the roof
Who polishes the spikes under the interstate
When someone sleeps where she's not supposed to sleep
Who trawls turgid brown bodies from the lake
When people turn up missing but not missed
Who sends the call that there's a body in the city
When another homeless comes home
