Sacrament
Six in a sack, drowning, and calling out clichés
No Milk Today. No, One Extra!
Hard Disc Issues
My father at the dictionary-stand, touches the page and weeps
Blackened Bread Pudding
And every day do you grow old, and I?
PEAS
After the pantomime, carrying you back to the car
How she would chew her belly-pork
And now I have a dog called Elederly
The Thomases Have a Car!
My eldest sister arrived home that morning
Crying in St Mary's
It was like keeping a puppy in your underpants
SLUT
What did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?
With the cool slick glass between us
I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions
They fuck you up, your mum and dad
My father's old blue cardigan
A night with lions, trying not to move
A spoonful of chocolate tapioca
It has floated away down a dark, mythological river
Nearby, the tractors and the cutters drip oil
