It’s on the TV now
The things never discussed
The inevitable
The return to dust
My parents never faced it
Left a mountain behind
For jumble sales
And recycling yards
Someone’s lucky find
Let’s go through all my junk
A catalogue of loss
The indispensable
The metal and the rust
It seems a shame to waste it
To throw it all away
Memories and
Faded photographs
Of those salad days
