CHATKA
Nestling in leafy lane, your dream retreat,
child-free space, magical in my early days.
Fulsome garden, apple trees, mountain high,
now much smaller, in my adult gaze.
Chalet bedrooms caught in triangular roof,
built-in cupboards, mothball pungent.
Every ornament knew its rightful place,
only later revealing glued-up cracks.
Spiders cling to your empty corners,
tragic remnants of a closet life
Uncle’s secret in the garden shed.
Unused christening gown under the bed.
