Sport 2: Autumn 1989

II

II.

Today the letter
came
calling us to Plymouth.
Missy, Noel and I
were fetching windfalls
by the gate.

(Pippins)

then Missy
grabbed my hand,
squeezing till it hurt —
said
Look!

and through the open door
I saw mother at the kitchen table

crying

one rose apple
in her hands.
