Ma
We sat at the Christmas dinner table
eating the four course meal she’d just made
this time last year
she lay in hospital
waiting to die
I asked her to sum up in a sentence or a word
what she’d learnt in the past year
“Live” she said
and continued eating
eating the four course meal she’d just made
this time last year
she lay in hospital
waiting to die
I asked her to sum up in a sentence or a word
what she’d learnt in the past year
“Live” she said
and continued eating
