Neuro Logical
Little wooden house at t he edge of Caerphilly - Jacqueline Brown
a faint whistle from the kitchen
he put the kettle on before you arrived
you notice his wrist as he pours the tea
a button is missing from his shirt sleeve
you ask for a needle and thread
to fix the hole there
he laughs so wide you can see his molars
sure, he says, you know you can’t sew
