reaching for raisins
from the top shelf
the spider’s caress

— Patricia Hawkhead

sinking chill
we share his favourite wine
at his funeral

— Patricia Hawkhead

having a lie-in a fresh grave

— Patricia Hawkhead

creeping sea ice
white tendrils reach out
for my warmth

— Patricia Hawkhead

dried grass
winds whispering
a séance

— Patricia Hawkhead

slow tick of the clock
becoming comfortable
with family ghosts

— Patricia Hawkhead

creeping darkness
the taxi driver knows
a different route

— Patricia Hawkhead

wind in the rafters
we try to sleep through
the scratchings

— Patricia Hawkhead

awake not necessarily alive

— Patricia Hawkhead

clay face mask
applied evenly
returning to soil

— Patricia Hawkhead

dreaming of his hand
softly against my cheek
the spider settles

— Patricia Hawkhead

cold snap the remains of our days

— Patricia Hawkhead
