Use of Wood
There's a bed in loft
more than a double –
a California King
made for three people
which was fine in our
thirties
but less so with
advancing years.
An eBay sale ( a
hundred quid
is less than I paid for
the wood )
became the kiss of
death
“Can you hang on to
it for me?”
until...
until...
The buyer broke up with
her partner,
sold the bed to someone
else who said:
“Can you hang on to
it for me?”
so weeks became months
and
tidying the loft became
impossible.
I wish I'd done what I
originally wanted to--
a frame for a garden
hammock;
would have been lovely
this year
or my latest thought...
a full-sized easel for
oil painting
and enough laths for a
dozen stretchers.
To be honest, I'd be
happy with an emptier loft
