memory

homeward bound from school:
swishing joyfully through crisp brown leaves;

in bulging pockets priceless treasure:
conkers the colour of cabinets

come monday:
a sad dull brown,
shrivelled and cracked.
in the bin they go

friendly streaks of sunlight diagonal across a faded carpet.

ancient memory illumines the present
