His armchair would become a sad throne ...

We're driving back to Dorset on the M27 - we've spent the day at my parents' house in Havant - 

We had their carpets cleaned this morning - 

They're not as bad as some I've cleaned Peter said - 

My mum and dad were at the day centre - 

I wandered through the empty house - time was different here - 

Upon the letter from Doctor Melville, my dad had written: stay at home, and then ??? - 

Your armchair would become a sad throne, I thought - 

Familiar furniture would become poignant sculptures - 

We would continue driving into the coming darkness -
