endeavour to mention
vintage splatter
any imperfection
Any bi(r)ds placed
does not automatically imply
mother and chick
are free from defect
From creation to the end
lucite female torso
men’s interest apparent
a large anodised pear
With purple inclusions
box of erotic ephemera
bibles in leather binders
schoolgirls’ picture library

two glass cars
a house of splendid isolation
anatomical brain on stand
Artist unknown
cultural mask
deserted town, alcohol
a collection of popular mechanics
Deeds that won the empire
toy soldiers man carrying a sack of paper banknotes
elegant pens, a meat hook
An interesting miscellany
incised butterflies
jellyfish example
sleeping beauty single owner

five minutes prior to close
[red elevated flower rolled over]
the fragrant minute for every day
