Calderwood chicken-noodle soup
Superman
Illustrated Old-Testament
Under the dining-room table
On the stairs, adult conversation
Betty Dawn, cigarettes and velour tracksuits
Certainty of Friday-night chicken soup
Bureau
Of Human Bondage and The Ascent of Man
Spitting-image
Fried-egg sweeties and cola bottles
Red-reminders for the gas
Cold side of the pillow and Snow Patrol flash-forward
The Beachgrove Garden
Troon
Midges in my eyes and mouth and ears
Hovering in an ever-present moment;
Mrs Firth; old with wiry hair;
The Echo
Brasso, polishing.
Night-time and the Eternal Bard, terrified ascent;
Gefilte-fish; shut the door Dennis!
