Manhattan 2012
women’s magazines
waiting in the hairdresser’s
mid-sixties
illustrations
young tree avenues
blossoming handbags fashion
little dogs long leash
promise of love
promise of life
mans jaw board room
cologne cinches the deal
slight smile signs the paper
chinos and open collar
on the terrace
calendar-not-needed from work
buildings of Manhattan
decorate your room
make your world
stepped terraces down walls
of windows up
which beyond myself
giddy
frightened beautiful
adult cannot look
but keep high on wall
going out evening Daddy
‘have to’ ‘part of my work’
‘can’t be helped’
white shirt black bow tie
never seen before hired
clean cut neck cologne
‘good for meeting people’
‘making contacts’
‘if I can just’
‘business’
new car white Mini white Anglia
parked on hill
matchbox models to match
for the boys
going into business
‘make a go’
Dennis and Dennis home evening drinks
meet the family
boys play Dennis G and Dennis P
for years after
‘…Daddy is leaving
he will not be coming back’
it had all seemed beautiful
but now I dream of falling off the ledge
shall I go up or down?
