I am, this is me
I am and everything about me, everything you see
If you look hard enough
I never
Our life was a pillow-fight. We'd there on the quilt, our hands clenched
Ready. Her with her teeth, so late for her age, and a Stanley knife in
Her hand. She sliced the tyres on my bike and I forgive her

She went blind at the age of five. stand at the bedroom window and she'd
Get me to tell her I saw. I'd describe the houses opposite, the little
Patch of grass to the path, the gate with its rotten hinges forever wedged
Open that Dad was always going to fix. She'd stand there for a moment. I
Thought she was trying to develop the in her own head. Then she'd say

Rings of coloured rocks
around orange and mustard planets

Three years and was out in fifteen months. We saw him a later, he was
Coaching a non-league team in a Cornwall seaside town. I don't think
He recognized her. My sister had put on a lot of from being in a chair
All the time. She'd get me to stick and stub out cigarettes in her right
