Poetry Corner: A Shared Love

By Richard Wallace

Mum and dad live in separate houses

on different streets, in different towns.

*****

They see each other twice a week,

sort of.

*****

They talk on the phone, from car windows,

sort of.

*****

In the yard, on the front steps;

they take me back and forth.

*****

I guess they still share something,

sort of.
