The sad grey sky had swallowed summer ...

We've just come back from a long weekend caring for my mum and dad - 

My dad wore his two faces, one loving, one snarling - 

Don't make out we're worse than we are he hissed outside The Royal Oak - 

That afternoon, my mum had looked at the birds perched upon a TV aerial - 

They'll be going soon she said - 

Winter was coming, I thought - 

The sad grey sky had swallowed summer -
