neighbour's light
through the morning fog
a homeward beacon

I joked last week that my legacy
would be the use of joint locks
in everyday self defence: "Rachel
would finish this with a wrist lock,"
and while I love the idea, it's true
that more people will remember me for this
than ever knew of my paintings, or books,
or poetry, of my with and sarcasm,
of my enduring love of art and books
or the tales of my father throwing lupin seeds
on the noise abatement banks of the M6.
