dreary day
penetrating the mist
only the rain

Guilt and Regret
10.
the bungalow
where my aunt an uncle lived
derilict, now,
the repository of tools
and lawnmowers
and a metre-hich crawlspace
beneath the broken floorboards.
We didn't mean to burn it down;
just droppen in a match
'to scare the rats away'
not that we'd ever seen one.
I deserved the hiding
and I never did it again.
Not intentionally.
