conjunctions

agony

My mother lived between twinset and pearls.
Hidden behind a blacksmith father who
Built a town,

One shop, one church.

It is still there
standing with the stones,
as my grandfather built,
with nothing but his hands.


Her lover arrived on a motorbike,
(perhaps, in time you'll see)
A marriage, conjunction, me.
