his death
prompts funeral
rising costs at the shop
the undertaker's essential
service

swifts
sweeping across the moorland
purple heather

toadstools
creep like stubby fingers
on the forest floor

infesting age
into my bones

so many stories
running through my head
so many books

so little enthusiasm
