crocus leaves
reaching for the light
pink-thinged clouds

Mum disliked my childhood friends;
knew they were using me
for the big garden and the few toys I owned.
Her sneer of disgust
as Dashey walked through the room
and let himself into the hall
where visitors were Not Allowed.
I was so lonely I'd take friendship
and any cost and I got very used
to being betrayed and hurt.
