but closer to home
the still-born loss
of a baby boy
- our neighours' woe
they sit
too big
in our biggest vase
on the window sill
a gift from those same neighbours
in remembrance
of our cat
who died last week
in due course
they'll drop their petals
and be taken to the compost bin
just as Toto
now lies buried
in the soil we will all call home
