Home and Away
He can still remember he called
her, slightly after midnight. He had
been listening tot Edith Piaf all
evening. The wooden floor creaked
under the weight of his footsteps.
The TV was on with no sound.
The goldfish swimming in dark
green water. He had bought three
pints of beer from the bottle
deposit money. No cold dish with
salmon from a can, no stars - he
was too old for that - and no
company, except for Piaf that is.
Kid's Sleeping Bag
On their last night she dragged
the mattress into the living room.
"I want tot lay down next to you
one more time." Carefully, she held
him tight like she'd done for years.
"I'm never coming back," she said.
She gently wriggled het feet
against the blanket.

Lying Down
The man
stuggles out
from under his
motorbike:
I have to
call my wife!
lie where you are!
she says
and make sure
you don't call your wife
she thinks
you have gone to work
