a fillet of my childhood

 a fillet of my childhood


above the sawdust 

they hung them silver hooked

whole sides of beef

man chops i called them 

everyone laughed

some memories are lard 

rich but unpalatable 

the dry blood had a sadness

wrapped in greaseproof paper

the till rang it all up 

those times

priceless now
