WHY NOT PLANT FLOWERS THERE


the young man died on a sunny summer evening
walking home
on a 60mph hospital back lane

the flowers are browning in rain filled plastic
the framed picture warps like waves 
and
a fresh bouquet is wrapped in a skull and crossbones scarf
at the spot 
on the untrimmed verge
where
theres a short cut across the ditch from MHU

the smokers and security still talk about it 
vicariously
and
undecided
who 
he 
was
