I had my eleventh birthday there:
books, and cake for tea in the back parlour
we rented from Mrs Gain.
We all used the big kitchen
with the range whose lid she lifted one day
when Stanley Gain (about my age,
but a boy, unfortunately)
came in dangling from a long stick something
murkily white with loops at each end:
âWhatâs this, Mum?â âI donât know; give it hereâ â
into the sizzling coals. He smirked and left.
She clanked the lid, and honoured me
with a complicit glance, as if
I were old enough to use things like that
or know what name sheâd call them by.
