in the bath when i was three
popcorn grew on the apricot tree
outside the window. me and him,
babbled hands as daddy sings.
daddy’s girl, daddy’s boy,
daddy’s little something, once;
sweetie, darling, tumour child,
raising you was pulling teeth
and hitting you upside the head
but i’ll read stories in your bed
and tell you of the apricot tree
that grows popcorn just for me.
i saw him slope away from me
inside a mall in leicestershire;
he shows his love through sixty pounds
instead of sending fifty-five
and no more popcorn seems to grow
on the apricot tree outside the window
