Joe’s Place

~

day to day

week on week

six soulless months

have ambled by,

reluctantly the

family buzzards

have circled, landed

and finally picked

the carcass clean,

next week

new folk arrive,

children’s voices

trilling, trailing

around their feet,

the sad thing is

for evermore, it

won’t be Joe’s,

just them at No 4.
