Elder Respect

Cloudy cordial – it was too soot

for my tongue – inbred-sweet &

all sugar-buzz – Grandma’s own

& she is an amazing woman [no

proof given] None ‘fess that she

should add in a splash of bitter-

truths/ I’d tie her up – then off to

a rest home near Kent [she was

born from French blood – Boton –

& would feel at ease in sight of

Calais] Aye – Grandma – fuck off
