Safe Home

Safe home
husband and wife
drive to your
Bailey household
Home to your lost
son and daughter
bricks and mortar
beef casserole
the ‘One Show’
glowing fires
tickled kisses
the click of
the bedside light
‘Goodnight
I love you’
Safe home
heartbroken young lady
and catch your bus
to your flat
With the rats
incontinent cat
powdered Cappuccino
‘The One Show’
Facebook screen
ready meal for one
the pull of
the thin duvet
‘Goodnight.
I once loved you’
Safe home
homeless boy
to your night
under the bridge
With the rubble
bin liner sheet
the winded blow
no one show
hacking cough
plastic cider
food bank banana
The kick
and kick of
relentless feet
‘Goodnight’
Love?
Safe home.

Very simple, but very deep
Very simple, but very deep and wonderfully conveyed, Ralph. A great piece. Hits home.
