poetry: 19th December 2015

his deal
to have more kids;
for his wife to have more
and make their life even better
backfires

dog food
left on the kitchen floor
winter slugs

stripping the floor
all the carpet cut into pieces
rolled for removal
its being replaced with laminate
and dog-nail clicking

The spare room
full of furniture
from the bedroom

DK's office
full of boxes
from the bedroom

The landing full of toys

A day of floor laying. Joy.
