Falls mainly in opaque nights
When moggy kills mice

On besieged whitewashed wall

Yule remembered
Christmas tree flung into snow
Police sirens laugh.

Two long cigarettes exhale
Fumes embrace softly

Fears being picked at dawn
And fade in a vase

In a pond ringed by quartz,
A modest swan swam

Ciggy smoke from living room
Hysterical voices.

Feel holly and virtuous
But get arthritis
