incessant rain
even at nine a.m.
the world is dark

Edmund Fowler
A strange boy; the only child
of a much older couple
covered head to toe in severe eczema
and made extra money as a ten-year-old
stealing building supplies from the new estate
and selling them at the scrapyard.
He had a huge oak tree
in front of her parent's bungalow
and was convinced acorns
were legal tender.
