From June 2018 – a poem and a six-word line posted separately now combined:
…..
Key in the door
a little stiff
needs lubricating
she keeps telling him
Steps inside
odd smell greets
wet plaster wood dust
others homes not his
Walls overfilled holes
tiles broken rough edges
doors an inch too short
frames botched distorted
Windows condensation soaked
heating gone awry
message painted on a wall
your home as you left mine
#
Prerequisite… drill then screw. Nailed it.

A renovators dream, gone, via a mouldy pie in the face…. ‘the nails are rusty and bent'(6 words)
