Tanka

storm damage
the spider re-strings
its universe
i re-build the fence
the dog steals my hammer


the dead don't die
they live by the sea
semi-detached
3 dogs 2 kids
never been happier


i read
the goodbye note
left on the tv
the dog being a dog
licks its balls


RIP joe
no god
no flowers
donations to
the model railway society


she cleans
before the cleaner arrives
on the mantelpiece
watching over her
a picture of my grandmother
