Hole in the World

Just gone noon
the cocks are crowing

A pot of late rasperries
carried in the wrong hands

I’ll need your help
to mend the study light
he’d said.

I sit in his chair
between brother and mother,
lie awake in bed in the dark
of his dressing room.

The coldness of his forehead
shocks my lips.
His grey-silver hair
smells of bonfire smoke.

A hole in the world.
