ABOUT US

To sit around a table

filled her with dread.

She had ancient demons

that hung around in her head.

As a child, she was offered the top

off her Mothers boiled egg:

Such poverty witnessed

when she had to beg.

And if lucky, the crust from

some newly baked bread,

with a smattering of dripping

before going to bed.

The dining table, a place

where bad memory’s lay,

that still lingered on,

until she passed away.
