Hmm think I should have pickd something else to write about...this was difficult.
The china pig lay broken in my hands.
I’d never really liked it,
but hadn’t meant for this to happen.
I am sat eating breakfast with Gran.
My brother is still in bed.
On our plates - bacon, eggs, toast and jam.
She coughed and choked, then tried to stand;
not knowing what to do
I tried to pull the bacon, fearful of reprimands.
I shouted as loud as I can. Tried to raise an alarm,
“Get up and help me with Gran”
Back and forth I ran, I could not lift her in my arms.
A glass of water in the face shifted him to give chase.
He stopped and stared,
then holding hands, we fled in tears, pale-faced.
I received a piggy bank that I’d never seen before
at seven I didn’t understand
why my brother received nothing from Gran.
