come with me

 come with me


to port tennant

see that stone house with the stone steps

the bay window with the net curtains 

inside door with cut glass panels

that aspidistra room dark remembered

see the round table with a brocade cloth

purple(ish) shiny(ish) silky poured

and me 

there on the table

on by back with legs raised crying

mummy(ish) in childish

see those sliding doors

the ones with opaque glass drawn together 

well mam went through there and i am crying

they are saying something at me

but i am crying


she must have come back


but all i remember is the crying 

and that haunted aspidistra
