30th July 2018

Moose
French lavender

what to wear
for a wedding in Wales?
Something waterproof, probably,
paired with wellies
and a windproof hat.
Asked to speak, I declined;
still afraid of social situations
unless it's reading poetry
or the performing arts
where I can let someone else take over.
Made to feel bad for declining
and had to offer an apology
despite my tears.
Thanks, auntie,
for ignoring me for all those years
sorry you're dead, now.
