Wrapped in soft cushion
Plush to touch
Push the center
Doesn’t touch
The goods
Safe for custom
Safety cushion.
Packing in ill-gotten axeheads
Reckoned millennia old
They’d be only for me
They’re out instead
I have sent them ye, safekeep
Sweep slate
Sweet sleep
Slate guilt
Let my head peace!
On the envelope in block capitals
HISTORY MUSEUM, KILDARE STREET, THE CAPITAL
Packed so tightly with quilt and swaddle
That a nail-passing camel couldn’t breathe.
Alchemisland
