early

 early


before it’s light

the creaky stairs

sees them take fright

the black pads scurrying

cockroaches hurrying

back to their lairs

behind the boards

of that room at night

THEN

with the heel of a boot

laid to hand

splattering the hoards

on to the promised land

so now you understand 

my early days

coal grit

kiddo
