Unknown Unknowns

Captain Mikey Irishman
of no fixed abode, Copenhagen
has taken it upon himself to care
for the corner of his local graveyard
devoted to those who died like he lives,
homeless. Such places of rest are a rarity,
though there is a campaign for more.
The authorities are at a loss to know
what do with his vocation
as he builds small shrines to the absent,
as much as they were at a loss
with residents of that corner
when they were alive.
Perhaps all he wants to be
is an example of thoughtfulness
for that which went unrecognised.
