Glue and sticky back plastic
Lego, Playmobil and Penguin books
Markers, highlighers and rulers
How easy to hide.
...
I see a life in my dreams,
It belongs to me.
Incandescent light and sympathies play,
Dazzling.
...
Her heart broke
Yet her feet still moved
Tip, tap, tip, tap New York.
The sequins glittered and the painted smile shone
...
Crimson, pillar box, fire station
Breathe deep, keep counting, Seven
Terracotta, flame
Five, exhale, Four
...
This is Belle's story
An ode to Cab Sav
Tick, tock, tick, tock...ad infinitum
O woe is me
...
An Ode To Mum
Glue and sticky back plastic

How easy to hide.
Four children: twenty-four kids.
A family: multiply for the world.
How easy to hide.
A marriage, borne four children,
Four children born for life.
How easy to hide.
A mother,
Four children,
A father,
Dead.
A mother,
Four children,
A mother,
Dead.
Two children,
Forgotten,
Two children,
Can hide,
Tears keep falling.
How easy to hide.
