writer. maker.
I have a helper in the garden today,
she gets changed into her blue spotty dress,
she holds the secateurs awkwardly
as she tries to clip a branch out of the way.
‘I cant do it’ she says,
‘push me on the rope swing’.
She drops the secateurs in the long grass,
and turns and skips away.
