for janet

 for janet 


and so here we are

funeral day

and the new patio isn’t half finished

they will have done a bit more by the time

we come back from the crematorium 

they are not turning the soil there

with a red digger like ours

they / we are burning memories 

deep into the patio of the past

the flowers of ash

would make good fertiliser 

on the wind from here to the garden

is but a breath not taken

one foot in each world 

we withdraw one from the sinking

and place two on a brand new patio

how nice it all went
