MUM AND SPUDS
How are you managing for heating oil?
Do you know that Mrs Mullin died?
I hope you like onions with your stuffing?
You said in your text that you're on nights next.
Heaped on offerings of food,
Hot pans make mood for flavour.
Television. Loud repeated soaps,
Water hissing on stove. Potato
peelings blocking sink - no time to think;
Can i help? I question her red face,
No it's alright - clean the windows instead -
but listen; wait until after you're fed.
