MUMMY
She explained
to her child
that soon
'mummy was
going up
to be with
the angels
in heaven'
and
her child asked
'to be with daddy?'
'no' -mummy
painfully whispered
'daddy is elsewhere
down in the pits
fires of hell
writhing in agony
paying for all
his sordid sins'
and then she
passed away
with a smile
on her poor
jaundiced
lined face.
