Now we're back in the small house ...

This morning we were in Bowlalley Lane - 

Now we're back in the small house, where time is strange - 

*

Jane rang us on Christmas Day - 

Your dad has pneumonia - 

He's in QA - 

*

Here, lights are left on here all night - 

My mum puts teabags under her pillow - 

*

The nurses and the doctors lost patience with my dad -  

He plucked at the drip in his arm - 

I'm not ninety he said - 

Don't talk to me as if I'm a child - 

Don't put bars round my bed - 

I'm not a baby -
