an old CD-R

bottom of a box

inventory for a rent

old house main road

opened it up

pic of a red door

fixtures & fittings

that i don’t recall

view from a window

darkened hall

poor painted doors

carpets frayed

ditto curtains & floors

my girl then

wanted this place

nearer to where

she felt needed

to be

& me?

paying the rent

grudgingly

happy to be where i was

proverbial fool on a hill

few neighbours

animals & grass

living free

not this town house

in a street row

with too many people

like us to come & go

leaving nothing to show
