^ Last Year ^ Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

^ Last Year ^



Last year
There was no
Christmas gift
From them

So I thought
Maybe they are
Cross with us

This year
There are no
Christmas lights
In their house

No surprise
As now I can
Surmise -
That the storm was
Brewing for a long, long time
For they were not cross with us
But with each other, and so they
Are now no longer living together

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
(Wrote this about our neighbours - the man told me he didn't want to leave but had no choice as his partner didn't want to live with him anymore, he was sad to go as they had been together for 5 years.)
