6th August 2018

overcast
the ragged feel of the lawns
uncut

the invitation
returned, undelivered,
no longer at this address.
I look him up online
to find an obituary.
he died last year,
the victim of a garden accident
involving a bonfire
and I laugh and laugh
despite the trauma  his daughters must have felt
I didn't like him anyway.
