We all want to get home
nothing to do
nothing doing
pass time sleeping
every few
then tea between
a friend is coming
bringing me wool
knit squares
send them
abroad
keep fingers going
at home
watch telly and so
that’s company
a lady across the road
she pops in
always peopling
can’t go home til
I can stand on my
own
two
and fro on the bus
all in
had a blackout
fall
91 years
don’t know if I’m bettering
long passing
shared my bedroom
one brother and two sisters
winter's cold wool
keep fingers going
