Digital Dead Letter Office

What is sadder
than the poem
you forgot to save
vanished forever
into digital darkness?

Where do words go
when computers forget
and memory fails?

Is there a 
dead letter office
for lost poems
and in which
circle of hell
would that be found?

Do the poor lost poems
huddle and sigh
knowing no lips
will ever sing them?

Such sad mystery.

Birds and lawn mowers
call out for justice
but lost poems
purr just beyond reach.
