her dad
died in his sleep
she remembers the smell
sickly sweet like flowers and fruit
and shit

a trio of magpies
prophesying

Walking Jack
becomes more of a drag
blind and afraid
he refuses to budge
having found some bread

decorating
I left the small items
in the garden

a wooden shelf
and the toilet cistern
painted white

it rained all night
