Fruits of Labour

In my dreams you’re buried
between our two citrus trees
and not the toilet bowl.

In my dreams I make you sandwiches
and teach you crib.
You have my hands and your father’s knees.

In my dreams it’s both a nightmare
and a fantasy that I indulge in
Like an extra piece of cake.

It’s not personal - business only.

In my dreams lemons and limes
pile up on the kitchen counter
- too many for two.
