a claim
to want to die
teenage melodrama
taken seriously by the
devil

peony
the red tinge of new flowers

clearing the house
the toy farm my father made
still wrapped in paper
old lead animal figures
their paint chipped away

my father's loft
stepping from beam to beam
imagining futures
a thousand dead flies
on dry rot window sills
pupating butterflies
drifts of snow through gaps in the tiles

the decision to get fit. Again.
