My Gran
A house with black leaded grate
fire heated the oven
boiled the kettle
The old iron
spit on it to make sure it was hot
on a scrubbed table three irons going
Around scrubbed table
bleached wood, an old sheet on it
burnt iron marks, the smell
singeing

Grimace – unsteady
Summer t-shirt and pleated skirt
In the lounge at home
Kitchen area to the back
TV very loud, probably a games show
“I'll have to take my time! I'm very slow.”
This photograph is new, crisp, clear
Shades of brown, beige, shades of blue
Just off the printer
“I'll have to take my time! I'm very slow.”
