ONLY I SAW THROUGH THE CRACK IN THE DOOR -----CANCER
through the crack in the door
i see you frail,pale,sick being eaten alive
through the crack in the door i CAN see much more
i see cold winter days
steaming hot stew and dumplings splashing in rich brown oceans of gravy
i see a mother defending the black sheep
tending the heated head
through the crack in the door
loud in noise Christmas pours
last pounds and pretend games
you cough and i inch away
can you see me through the crack in the door
they quietly say she will go today
then pray over tea and ginger nut biscuits
but i saw you go many days before
i saw you through the crack in the door
your secret smile slid into the light
whats left behind is the empty box
the bit for those who are blind
through the crack in the door
your scent fledΒ
the favourite one
the one i saved for weeks to afford
and payment was the last kiss
through the crack in the door
