Clearing the house ...

I'm reading The Wasteland in the emptied  house - I've put down the history of Westminster Hospital - 

A toy kangeroo sleeps in an icy bedroom - sad china hides in a chiffonier - 

Dominic seeks out Chuck, the gardener - 

Anne folds up sweet smelling linen - 

Margot says my mother said she'd make a hundred - 

The gentle clock chimes the wrong hour - 

A life is marked by tender memorabilia -  

There are no clothes in the wardrobes - 

Father Louis says Beth ironed the vestments - 

Dominic smiles a gentle wounded smile - 

Safe journey we say - safe journey - take care -

Beth's house
