Beltane fire
celebrating an anniversary
home-made wine

she writes about local shit
from her Wednesbury upbringing;
poetry for her friends, her neighbours
now they've retired
and her husband is no longer Bill.
She thanks her friends on the folk circuit,
the people she danced with
before her knees began creaking
and capers didn't leave the ground.
I bought her collection from curiosity
and memory of a vibrant friend
but all I found was reminiscence
and the celebration of what once was.
