8th February 2019

"climatically challenging"
my new expression for cold, wet and blustery
Winterfilth*

She relives the past

endlessly blaming the man she loved
for breaking her heart.
No-one else survives her 
everyone leaves
one after another
unable to compete with her lost love
(who loved her, still
until she threw him out)
and the rain drips down the windows
blown through the gaps
between glass and lead
until you can't tell which rain
and which are tears.
