short forms 5th June 2017

lunch date
seeking revenge
on her brother's killer
She befriends the grown-up daughter
Promise

morning rain
on fresh-cut grass
fledgling sparrows

 emptying the compost bin
the first of four
to be disposed of
I offer it for a tenner
but nobody wants it

the old fish tank
in a chipboard bureau
rotting

we take it apart
stagger with the tank
down the garden

end of an era

She dreams of the DSS. Anxiety.
