tallboy
upstairs sunday morning
hand-chins on the bed with my mother
watching them through the curtain crack
off to church in their finery
with their fox stoles
their lucky rabbit’s paws pinned in silver
mum tumbling acid drops at so and so
all fur coat and no knickers
etc her amen
then down stairs to get on with the dinner
dad down the pub for his prandial pint
before his afternoon nap
when i winked off to sunday school
and the curtains closed
