Forecourt Carnations<br />
Chris Hemingway<br />
I'm a 'just-in-time',<br />
an impulse buy.<br />
Tesco half a mile away.<br />
Stashed in a black plastic bucket,<br />
just beside the solar gnomes.<br />
I fear the worst if he takes me home,<br />
trampled underfoot,<br />
or thrashed across his stubborn jaw.<br />
But if she lets me stay,<br />
then there'll come a morning<br />
when the light won't catch the crystal hare<br />
(a troubled gift from Dave at work)<br />
and I'll bloom,<br />
and she'll forgive him,<br />
and that'll make me smile.
