little sparrow
a broken tooth

she forgets as she smiles
at the soup cup

her childhood bane

she scoffs the discarded
toastie crusts

two jumper day
two jumper day heating the first thing she cuts

sleeping upright again
sleeping upright again
she makes a wish through
the windscreen

switched off
the drone of the idling engine
drones on

bang on time
bang on time
the stray kitten emerges
for dinner

bleached skull white
bleached skull white
the orb weaver adds another
body to its pantry

one breath
one breath
the house cricket and I
sound the other out

school sports day
school sports day
we see the students’
other sides
