"Heirloom" Holly McNish

it’s not your jewellery that i want, gran
it’s your butter dish

so each time i go to slather
a thick white slice of toast

with a thick bright slice of yellow
we’ll be back on those reclining chairs

supper feasts laid out
as you fast forward through 

the ‘talking bit’
of countdown

Fame by Emily Dickinson

Fame is a bee. It has a song— It has a sting— Ah, too, it has a wing.
