clear sky
and the silence of Sunday
busy rat

food receipts
gradually getting shorter
but increasing in value.
Mum shopped at the Co-op
when it was still a cheap food outlet
filling books and books of Green Shield stamps
and weekend evenings
spent poring over catalogues
for bonus gifts to give as Christmas presents
and, once in a while,
a simple treat for herself.
