Scaffolding Poem by Alistair Graham

Scaffolding



I

Mortar crumble
from slackened brick
on slackened brick
down to dust

II

She stroked Pond's Cream
from a pot to the palm
of her small hand
and thumbed the moisture
into her skin

III

Her mind, inside
her beautiful head of
red-bricked-terrace
fronting a futile fight
against the elements,
resounded

"O Mother,
dear mother"
