Poetry by Patrick McManus
IN HEAVY
when
she after
some months
rather cruelly
insisted
that he actually
come and help
dig and wheelbarrow
on their allotment
she then
thought it
a tad overdone
for him to arrive
in front of
all the other
plot holders
limping dressed
as a slave in
heavy chains
dragging a wagon
singing sad
heart rending
pitiful spirituals
and rather loudly
weeping - wailing
and lamenting
pitiably
