3rd December 2019

clear skies and sunshine
glittering on a winter lawn
all those effing leaves

Guilt and Regret
38.
Beechwood House,
a block of flats in Wolverhampton
well known for purveyors of smoking goods
I was too trusting
"Gimme the twenty, yeah,
an I'll run and get you some."
Black, leb, double-o;
I didn't really mind what
but Wednesday nights were for
kicking back with a board game.
Of course he didn't return
but my job was minimum wage
and the loss of twenty quid
cut deep.
