A lifetime.


And to think one day
I’ll lie down with them.

Maybe I’ll get the news
reel thing going on
remembering.

My mam and dad,
sisters and brothers.

Us staying awake all night fucking
ourselves silly in Skeggy.

Our children-
living and dying.

Lying down at last with
the rest of them.

Thinking it didn’t last long
that -
lifetime.
