Terry Collett Poems

Together forever that’s what she
thought and maybe she said it too
you can’t recall it being such a while
ago but hey you loved her right even
...

She loved Bach and listened
To him whenever she had the
Chance and while sitting listening
She gazed at her Picasso prints
...

She gave you a postcard print
Of Marc Chagall. You pinned it
To the inside of your bedroom door.
It had a Florence postmark
...

It had started to rain
as I got to Hannah's flat door.

I knocked
...

And I told 'er
your old man
don't go round 'er place
for nothink
...

That's a Desert Wheatear
Jane said
watching the bird
fly overhead.
...

It was the first time
I had met Yehudit's mother.

It was after school
...

Yiska heard
her mother call her
she wanted to turn over
and go back to sleep
...

To talk about it
will help your grief,
the therapist said.
...

I sit next
to my sister
on the coach
to school.
