my grandmother’s
multi-coloured patchwork gown;
she climbed the garden steps
at night and stood
contemplating
work done work to be done
in the morning
the sun was on the leaves
and glinted off the mug of tea
she’d been drinking
my ‘grandmother’ was Gladys Charlotte Conlay who lived a life of work for all her families, without guile or motive, between 1906 and 1989; the garden was in ‘Genesta Road’ – her last home which she made with her divorced daughter and her two grandsons
