And this from Lionel Fogarty

COSTUME JEWELLERY

The difficult woman made a cult 

Staggered furtive shirting tucked whisper,

Counter drawers were albums of drain remnants.

The difficult woman secreted a bed carpet,

      Man on to the child’s weed scribbles 

Humpty beer taped drinkers were chewing,

     Hoist of dumpty blue Colgate.

The difficult Mothers plasters was over the cars driven by with words,

  ‘’Give up on Father who can’t pay’’

Open space manager’s slip on timeless walk as running business went 

Ascertainable for credit card none had to spend.

Behaving hearts when on loan, as alone when on it’s own.

Grieving parent who can afford an executor sain start a school for tool of experts.

The difficult yellow kitchen unit man because anger on chest fires,

As estate agents run inspection for the real owners spiritual.

Brief bitter beneath the light moments was sweet despites broken.

The cult woman new she needed people’s staggered by truth the elaborate lies didn’t work out as planned.

Determined by a lovers strength the difficult woman hush and dust on scared choices, for her cult.

Costume women on the jewellery looking for life out codes?
