Analysis of Pump Kin.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I kissed your forehead
Cold, pale and non verse.
Your heart was still
On the word of a nurse.
I sat listening
Waiting for the doctor
Looking this time away
So different from visiting.
Your food gone
And cupboards waiting to be emptied
As my hands had never felt so...
