the baby wakes and starts to cry.

“put out the lights,”

mum whispers,

“come on, lily, quick, hide –

hide!”

and i dive for the switch

as something else vibrates

against the glass,

(i knew they’d get in one day

this is no surprise)

mikey’s crying, mum’s face is pale.

it’s up to me to put up my fists

and shout,

go away.

bangers explode

through the letter box,

eggs smash

on my face and clothes

as i open the door and yell into the night,

aunty clare swears and screams at them to leave us

alone.
