All for this month a sad poem re my mum as a lost soul when my dad died 

His suits remain forlorn
hanging on rails with no destination
draws were opened and then gently shut
so as not to wake the cufflinks
but stirring dust
in sepia eyes
until
max factor
irrigated lines
run dry

her tea now cold
the warmth within
goodnight  Jim.

I like the subtle yet poweful images and the emotion that they described.
