Jan 2015
a single finger
on the telephone dial
last night after supper
when a sound of heartbreak
shook the house

Mrs Midland dies in hospital
her dog whimpers in the corner
of the stranger's living room

If this beautiful street
had never exploded before,
the kids would be scared

Nobody will ever find the body
nobody will ever know why
