Written for Paul Brookes' ekphrastic challenge - one poem a day in April 2021.
The drawing for this day is by Jane Cornwell
mummy's gone
mummy's gone was all he said
he was holding me so tight
i couldn't breathe
i wriggled and he let me go
we haven't had any tea
it's getting dark now
the house is cold
the stair is cold
i always sit here when i'm sad
or i have to think about things
he's crying in his room now
daddy never cries
