Battersea Blues

Her countenance,

had long given up the ghost

Twilight tried to allay the ravelling .

She needed resilience,

for those fiery Sunday visits  

endured by her confused Son.

Trumping by prevarication,

until no more, she retorted.

Her honeysuckle dreams

turn ramshackle.

Those plumes of bonfire smoke

before and the after, differ now

on contrite compost.
